Rams Injuries: Garrett's Knee, Nacua's Groin Sideline Stars
12 Aug
Summary
- Myles Garrett missed his sixth training camp day due to a knee injury.
- Puka Nacua left practice with an undisclosed groin injury.
- Dallas' defense, particularly LB Justin Barron, impressed against LA's offense.
The Los Angeles Rams are dealing with significant injury concerns as training camp progresses towards the regular season opener. Pass rusher Myles Garrett was held out of a joint practice with the Dallas Cowboys for the second straight day due to a persistent knee injury, marking his sixth missed training camp day.
Wide receiver Puka Nacua also departed the joint practice early with an undisclosed groin injury. While initial reports suggest the team is being cautious, Nacua's sideline status adds to the Rams' injury list just one month before their Week 1 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers.
During the practice session, the Rams' defense, particularly their secondary, received praise for their performance against the Cowboys' potent offense. Quentin Lake recorded an interception off Dak Prescott, and players like Byron Young and Josaiah Stewart made their presence felt.
Conversely, the Rams' offense struggled against the Cowboys' defense. Linebacker Justin Barron was a standout, intercepting three passes, including one from Matthew Stafford. This defensive pressure and success against the Rams' offensive unit has raised questions for coach Sean McVay and coordinator Chris Shula to address.
