Rams add 2 starting offensive linemen to IR

The Rams placed WR Puka Nacua, and OLs Joe Noteboom and Steve Avila on IR on Wednesday.

The Arizona Cardinals are surprisingly favored in their game this week at home against the Los Angeles Rams. But that is in part because the Rams’ offense has been decimated by injuries.

Receiver Puka Nacua injured his knee. But he isn’t the only one who got hurt and will miss time.

The Rams placed Nacua on injured reserve and two offensive linemen who started in Week 1. Joe Noteboom, the Rams’ starting left tackle in place of Alaric Jackson, who was suspended for the first two games of the year, suffered a high ankle sprain, and left guard Steve Avila suffered a knee injury, were placed on IR with Nacua.

That means the Rams will have a third-stringer at left tackle. They have Ty Nsekhe on the practice squad and also signed Geron Christian to the active roster. Both have played left tackle.

The Rams hope to get right tackle Rob Havenstein back. He missed Week 1 with an injury and Warren McClendon started in his place.

Starting right guard Kevin Dotson also has an injury but he is expected to play against the Cardinals.

Puka Nacua out for Rams vs. Cardinals, to go on IR with knee injury

The Cardinals will face the Rams on Sunday without Puka Nacua, who lands on IR with a knee injury.

The Arizona Cardinals’ next opponent are the Los Angeles Rams in their home opener this coming Sunday. They will not face second-year receiver Puka Nacua. Nacua exited the Rams’ 26-20 overtime loss on Sunday to the Detroit Lions with a knee injury.

Rams head coach Sean McVay told reporters that Nacua suffered a PCL sprain, a reaggravation of what he was dealing with in the offseason. He is being placed on injured reserve, which means he must miss at least the next four games, beginning with the game against the Cardinals.

Nacua was the Rams’ leading receiver in 2023 as a rookie, hauling in 105 receptions for 1,486 yards and six touchdowns. He had four catches for 35 yards on Sunday.

Last season against the Cardinals, he had eight receptions for 53 yards in two games.
