Puka Nacua, Davante Adams Injuries, Return Timelines Updated by Rams' Sean McVay

Paul KasabianNov 11, 2026

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua, who suffered a sprained MCL and PCL sprain in his right knee as well as turf toe on the final offensive snap of his team's 20-13 road win over the Washington Commanders last Sunday, is expected to be out for a "significant period of time," per head coach Sean McVay to reporters on Wednesday.

However, Nacua won't be going on injured reserve, per McVay, "because of some semantics with the roster."

There's good news regarding wideout Davante Adams, who is dealing with a ruptured semitendinosus (hamstring muscle on the back of the thigh) and hasn't played since Oct. 18.

McVay told reporters that the Rams hope to get him back after the team plays the Green Bay Packers on Wed., Nov. 25. If he returns then, Adams would miss just two more games (Sunday at Arizona Cardinals plus Packers) and get back on Thursday, Dec. 3 vs. the Kansas City Chiefs.
