ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter tweeted that Puka Nacua is ‘week-to-week’ after dealing with a knee injury. While the injury’s severity is uncertain, a source revealed that the condition won’t force him to miss significant time.
In that case, Nacua will likely be out of action for the Los Angeles Rams' 2024 preseason. They will monitor his status, hoping he can gradually return to action as their season-opener draws near because he's one of their top offensive weapons.

Nacua was stellar in his rookie season, establishing records for most receptions (105) and receiving yards (1,486) for a first-year player. The former BYU standout also established records for most receptions (15) and receiving yards (181) in a single game by a rookie.
The Rams hope that, like last season, Nacua will play in all games in 2024. His emergence gives Los Angeles' NFC team an explosive offense. He, Cooper Kupp, and Kyren Williams will be Matthew Stafford's top options on offense as the Rams aim for their second Super Bowl title in four seasons.
Meanwhile, Nacua will remain one of the top wideouts in fantasy football in 2024 unless he misses significant playing time. He could be a WR1 or a high-end WR2 on your roster.
