Rams WR Puka Nacua Added to Injury Report With Hip Issue

Sep 19, 2026

Nacua lands on the injury report

The Rams added wide receiver Puka Nacua to their injury report Friday after he missed practice with a hip issue. That's the only detail available so far — no game status, no ruling, just a name freshly on the list heading into the weekend.

What it means for your survivor pick

A Friday practice absence for a No. 1 receiver is exactly the kind of note survivor players want to catch before locking a pick. If Nacua is limited or out, the Rams' passing game loses its centerpiece, and that thins out the margin you're counting on when you back Los Angeles. The move here is patience: don't commit until the game status firms up over the weekend, and if you were leaning on the Rams as a comfortable safe pick, keep a backup in your pocket. When a key contributor's availability is a coin flip, it's usually smarter to pivot to a team without that cloud — or hold your strongest options for a cleaner spot down the road.
