An injury during practice reportedly won’t keep Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua from playing in his second straight game.

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

The 23-year-old returned in Week 8 against the Minnesota Vikings after missing five games due to a knee injury. He left practice early Thursday after injuring the same knee Jourdan Rodrigue of De Athletics.

NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo reported that Nacua did not suffer a “major injury” and was expected to “be fine” going forward.

The 23-year-old did not participate in practice on Friday and was listed as questionable heading into the game against Seattle.

Rams head coach Sean McVay previously revealed there was nothing “structurally” wrong with the wide receiver knee and did not rule out an appearance in Week 9, according to Stu Jackson of the team’s official website.

“I wouldn’t bet against this guy,” McVay said. “My expectation is that he will do everything he can to be ready to go, and that is the mentality we have.”

Nacua immediately made his presence felt in his first game back with the team, helping Los Angeles score a season-high 30 points in a win 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, coming off a phenomenal rookie campaign. Nacua collected 105 catches for 1,486 yards and six touchdowns in 2023, setting new records for total receiving yards and catches among first-year players.

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

Kickoff for Sunday’s NFC West showdown is at 4:25 PM ET.
