Rams WR Puka Nacua (groin) is inactive for Week 2 against the Giants.
✨ Key Highlights
-
Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua (groin) is officially inactive for the Week 2 matchup against the New York Giants.
-
News of the injury did not emerge until Friday, leaving fantasy managers scrambling late in the week to find a replacement, further complicated by his game-time decision status.
-
Nacua reportedly went through a shortened pre-game workout to test his availability but failed to prove healthy enough to play.
-
The Rams are now thin at wide receiver, as Jordan Whittington is also inactive, leaving Tutu Atwell, Konata Mumpfield, and Xavier Smith to compete for snaps behind Davante Adams.
-
There remains a possibility the Rams lean into heavy personnel alignments to compensate for the depleted receiving corps.
-
Additional inactives include safety Kam Kinchens, wide receiver CJ Daniels, quarterback Ty Simpson, and offensive lineman Bill Murray.
