Rams activate WR Puka Nacua after five games out

LOS ANGELES – The Rams activated wide receiver Puka Nacua from injured reserve ahead of Thursday night’s game against the Minnesota Vikings.

The Rams plan to play Nacua on Thursday night, but won’t decide how much he will participate until pregame warmups, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports.

The Rams placed linebacker Troy Reeder (hamstring) on ​​injured reserve in a corresponding move. Reeder, a starting inside linebacker, will be sidelined for at least four games.

Nacua, who sprained his PCL (posterior cruciate ligament) in Week 1, has missed the Rams’ previous five games. The injury was an aggravation of a knee injury during training camp.

The Rams have been without their top two receivers since Week 2, but Cooper Kupp also returns Thursday night due to a sprained ankle.

Last season, Nacua set records for most receptions (105) and receiving yards (1,486) by a rookie in NFL history. Nacua had four catches for 35 yards in the Rams’ season opener before his injury.
