Star wideout Puka Nacua will miss at least four games due to a PCL injury suffered in the loss.
The NFC West team has put the second-year WR on IR.
#Rams WR Puka Nacua’s PCL injury will land him on IR, Sean McVay clarifies, so he’ll miss at least four games. It’s a new, more significant injury to the same ligament he’d previously injured.
