Rams Star Nacua's Return Uncertain
17 Aug
Summary
- Puka Nacua has a lower back injury and may miss more practice.
- Myles Garrett is sidelined with knee swelling; return next week expected.
- Aaron Donald continues workout process for potential return to Rams.
Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay indicated that the team is taking a day-by-day approach to wide receiver Puka Nacua's return to practice following a lower back injury sustained during a joint practice. Nacua is experiencing soreness, and the Rams aim for a "return to performance," not just "return to play," potentially delaying his return until next week.
Defensive end Myles Garrett is also sidelined with knee swelling and is expected to return to practice possibly next week. McVay emphasized caution with soft tissue injuries and knee issues for key players. Separately, defensive tackle Aaron Donald's workout on Saturday is part of his process to decide on returning from retirement. Donald had a second "tryout" with the team this training camp as he seeks clarity on a potential comeback.
The Rams are scheduled to open their season on September 10 in Melbourne, Australia, facing the San Francisco 49ers.
