The Los Angeles Rams have released their second injury report for Week 3, and wide receiver Puka Nacua remains out due to a hip injury.
The Los Angeles Rams are preparing to take on the Denver Broncos in Week 3, but they are likely to do so without the help of wide receiver Puka Nacua.
Per the team's second injury report, Nacua has not practiced for the second day in a row, meaning he is unlikely to play against the Broncos.
The full injury report is as follows:
| Alaric Jackson | OL | Knee | Limited | Full |
| Terrance Ferguson | TE | Ankle | Limited | Full |
| Nate Landman | ILB | Shoulder | Limited | Limited |
| Colby Parkinson | TE | Knee | DNP | DNP |
| Kam Kinchens | S | Hamstring | DNP | DNP |
| Jordan Whittington | WR | Quadricep | DNP | Limited |
| Puka Nacua | WR | Hip | DNP | DNP |
Nacua has been dealing with a nagging injury that kept him out for Week 2 and has now spilled into Week 3. During media availability, head coach Sean McVay referred to the injury as "pre-hernia" and stated that they would give the receiver the proper time to heal.
Along with Nacua, the team might also be without Kam Kinchens, who has not practiced for the past two days due to a hamstring injury, and tight end Colby Parkinson, who is dealing with a knee injury.
The usage of tight end Terrance Ferguson in the passing game makes more sense, as Parkinson has been dealing with his knee.
The Rams also signed Maximum Pulley to the active roster from the Philadelphia Eagles' practice squad. That signing makes sense considering Kinchens will presumably be out against the Broncos.
Some better news for Los Angeles is that even though Nacua is unlikely to play, fellow receiver Jordan Whittingon has been upgraded to a limited participant. He missed Week 2 due to a quad injury, and he also did not practice on Wednesday.
Now that Whittington has been upgraded, it appears he is trending more playing on Sunday.
Linebacker Nate Landman remains limited due to a shoulder injury that he suffered in Week 1, but that injury did not keep him off the field against the New York Giants. Though he has been limited this week thus far, he is likely to play as well.
Despite the injury, Landman looked good on the field in Week 2 and ended his day with seven total tackles and one tackle for loss. His seven tackles tied with safety Quentin Lake for the most in the Giants game.
With Nacua presumably being ruled out for another week, the Rams offense will lean heavily on Davante Adams, who picked up 195 yards and two touchdowns against the Giants. He may not be able to replicate that success against the Broncos, considering they have a top player in Patrick Surtain II.
Either way, the Rams will likely rely on a committe approach in the pass catching game, which worked well against New York.
