When asked about the status of Puka Nacua’s knee injury, Rams HC Sean McVay said, “He’ll be ready to roll.”
McVay is presumably saying Nacua will “be ready to roll” for Week 1 when his team will take on the Lions to kick off the season. Nacua has been dealing with a knee injury throughout much of camp but returned to practice earlier this week and was practicing in full on Thursday. After totaling 105 receptions for 1,486 yards and six touchdowns last season, Nacua has set the bar high for this upcoming season. He profiles as a low-end WR1/high-end WR2 when Cooper Kupp is healthy, but would have top-five fantasy upside if Kupp were ever to miss time.
