When will Puka Nacua return and be back on the field for the Rams?
Here is the latest injury update for those wondering when will Puka Nacua return and be back on the field for the Rams. Nacua was placed on the injured reserve list following his first week injury to his right PCL. This requires Nacua to miss at least four games but it is expected that the WR will be out longer than that. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported back on September 15 that Nacua could miss between 5 – 7 weeks.
Given that timetable, the earliest that Nacua could return would be on Sunday, October 20 in Week 7 when the Rams play the Raiders. But Nacua will not play this Sunday. Week 8 against the Vikings is still a possibility.
Here is a look at the most likely dates we could see Nacua return.
- Thursday, October 24 Week 8: Vikings at Rams
- Sunday, November 3: Rams at Seahawks
- Monday, November 11: Dolphins at Rams
How long will Nacua be out?
Given that the Rams will likely err on the side of caution with Nacua’s injury, the most likely return date for the wide receiver looks to be Sunday, November 3 when the Rams play the Seahawks in Seattle.
