""I was encouraged, [senior vice president of sports medicine and performance] Reggie [Scott] was encouraged by the scan in terms of what it revealed," McVay said. "Whether that means he's able to play like the guy that we're accustomed to seeing on Sunday will be a weekly process for us. And so what we are grateful for is there's nothing on the scan that looks like it's going to be long-term. The uncertainty of this week is a real thing.""
"Nacua sprained his ankle in the second quarter of the Rams' Week 6 victory over the Baltimore Ravens while attempting to catch a pass in the end zone. He got up slowly after the play and started to walk off the field. After taking a few steps, Nacua went back to the ground and was checked out by the team's medical staff. He returned to the game in the third quarter but did not have another target."
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua sprained his ankle in the second quarter of the Rams' Week 6 victory over the Baltimore Ravens while attempting to catch a pass in the end zone. He initially got up slowly, went back to the ground and was examined by the team's medical staff before returning in the third quarter without another target. Coach Sean McVay said Nacua will be day-to-day and that initial scans were encouraging, showing nothing that appears to be long-term, though his ability to play at his normal level will be assessed weekly. The Rams will factor Nacua's playing style into return decisions as they travel to London to face the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 7 ahead of a Week 8 bye.
