Rams placed Puka Nacua on injured reserve with knee and toe injuries.

Nacua will be eligible to return for the Rams’ Week 15 game against the Cowboys. The Rams are on bye in Week 11, and he is required to miss at least four games. It was previously reported that Nacua was expected to return in Week 14 or 15. Shortly before the team made this announcement, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport said that the team was “confident” Nacua would return in that timeframe. Rams coach Sean McVay previously said that the Rams would not place him on injured reserve due to transaction limitations. It is unclear whether anything has changed. Nacua suffered PCL and MCL sprains, along with a turf toe injury in Week 10 against the Commanders. ESPN’s Adam Schefter specifically cited Nacua’s MCL sprain after the move was made, adding that McVay said Nacua will miss “extended time.” Nacua should be stashed on fantasy football benches at this time.
