Nacua caught four passes for 35 yards in the Rams' season opener against Detroit before leaving the game in the first half with a knee injury, eventually going on injured reserve.
FILE -Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua carries the ball against the Detroit Lions during the first half of an NFL football game Sunday, Sept. 8, 2024, in Detroit. LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles Rams receiver Puka Nacua has been designated to return to practice after missing five games with a knee injury.
Nacua was the most productive rookie receiver in NFL history last season, catching 105 passes for 1,486 yards — both league records for rookies — and six touchdowns. The fifth-round draft pick also set NFL rookie records for the most catches in a game and yards receiving in a playoff game . The Rams have struggled without Nacua and fellow starting receiver Cooper Kupp, who got hurt in Week 2 against Arizona. Kupp returned to practice last week, and McVay is optimistic the Super Bowl 56 MVP will play against the Vikings.
