Puka Nacua of the Los Angeles Rams left Sunday’s game with an upper‑body chest injury and is listed as questionable to return, making his availability a focal point for the Rams as they pursue momentum.

Before exiting, Nacua was productive, posting seven receptions for 95 yards and a touchdown, after a 39-yard catch earlier in the game.

At the time of the injury, Nacua had been a significant contributor for Los Angeles, especially after missing Week 7 with an ankle issue.

In the Rams’ matchup against the Saints, Nacua delivered seven receptions for 95 yards and a touchdown, underscoring his impact.

Nacua has been a standout offensive weapon for the Rams this season, providing reliable targets and contributing meaningfully in recent games.

The story emphasizes Nacua’s importance to the Rams’ offense and the potential impact of his absence on the team’s trajectory this season.

We've yet to receive a prognosis from the head coach or team on whether he will play again soon; further updates are expected to clarify his status.

During a third-quarter tackle, Nacua suffered the chest injury, appeared shaken, and collapsed at the sideline, prompting immediate concerns about severity.

The injury occurred on a third‑quarter jet sweep near the Saints’ 4-yard line, after which he trudged to the sideline for evaluation.

The Rams hoped for a possible return after the bye week in Week 9, but his status remained uncertain as the game progressed.

Heading into Week 9, the Rams face the challenge of potentially playing without Nacua, with updates awaited on how this might affect their game plan against the Saints.
