A practice injury wouldn’t keep Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua out of his second straight game.

According to Dianna Russini of The Athletic, the Rams “expect” Nacua to play against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday as he travels with the team.

The 23-year-old returned against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 8 after missing five games with a knee injury. He left practice early Thursday after injuring the same knee, according to Jourdan Rodrigue from The Athletic.

NFL Network Mike Garafolo reported that Nacua did not suffer a “major injury” and was “expected to be OK” moving forward.

The 23-year-old did not participate in Friday’s training and was listed as questionable before the clash with Seattle.

Rams head coach Sean McVay previously revealed there was nothing “structurally” wrong with the wide receiver’s knee and didn’t rule out a Week 9 appearance, per Stu Jackson from the team’s official website.

“I wouldn’t bet against this guy,” McVay said. “I expect him to do everything in his power to be ready to roll, and that’s the mindset we have.”

Nacua immediately made his presence felt in his first game with the team, helping Los Angeles score a game-high 30 points in a victory over the Minnesota Vikings. The Pro Bowl receiver thrived alongside Cooper Kupp, catching seven passes for 106 yards.

The former fifth-round pick entered the 2024 season with high expectations, following a phenomenal rookie campaign. Nacua had 105 catches for 1,486 yards and six touchdowns in 2023, setting a new record recordings for total receiving yards and catches among first-year players.

With his expected presence against Seattle, Los Angeles will try to win its third consecutive game. Nacua will be needed to help the Rams overcome a Seahawks secondary allowing 208.1 yards per game through the air.

Kickoff for Sunday’s NFC West showdown will be at 4:25 p.m. ET.
