Rams receiver Puka Nacua will miss his second straight practice on Saturday and is listed as questionable for the matchup against the New York Giants.
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua is listed as questionable for Monday night’s game against the New York Giants after missing two consecutive days of practice. According to coach Sean McVay, Nacua is dealing with groin soreness that prevented him from hitting full speed during Thursday’s session. The team officially listed the receiver on Friday's injury report with a hip issue, though McVay clarified Saturday that the current ailment is separate from the psoas injury Nacua sustained during training camp.
Wide receiver Jordan Whittington is doubtful for the Monday night contest due to a quad injury. Whittington was a new addition to the team's injury report on Friday.
Defensive tackle Aaron Donald is expected to make his season debut against the Giants. This appearance would mark Donald's first NFL game in two years following a period of retirement. McVay confirmed Saturday that if Donald intends to play, the team supports that plan. Donald previously stated on Friday that playing in the Monday night matchup was his specific goal.
