The Rams are expected to put WR Puka Nacua on IR after he got hurt on the final play of Sunday's win over the Commanders, according to multiple reports. Nacua sprained the MCL and PCL in his right knee and sustained a turf toe injury to his right foot. Landing on IR would cost Nacua at least four games, with a Week 11 bye extending his absence. That would make Week 15 his earliest possible return date. We'll watch for updates on his progress in the meantime.
