Ankle Sprain · Left 1 game
Sustained a left ankle sprain in the second quarter against the Ravens and was ruled out for Week 7.
- 2024
Burst Bursa Sac · Right 6 games
Injured his right knee during a joint practice with the Chargers in training camp but was expected to be ready for the regular season. Aggravated a preseason knee injury in Week 1 and was subsequently placed on injured reserve, missing at least four games. Injured his knee in practice ahead of Week 9, the same knee that was previously injured, but was listed as questionable and expected to play.
- 2023
Oblique Played through
Sustained an oblique injury in Week 1 but was able to play through it in Week 2.
If Nacua Misses Time
Next man up: Tutu Atwell
Tutu Atwell is next on the Rams depth chart at wide receiver. The targets would likely spread across the offense rather than pass to one player, so he's a waiver add only if Nacua misses time.
Who else it affects
His absence would move work to the rest of the offense, and Matthew Stafford would lose one of his main options.
