Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua has been cleared to play against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 9, according to NFL insider Jay Glazer. Nacua, who was initially listed as questionable due to a knee injury sustained in practice, is expected to be at “full-go” for Sunday’s game. This is welcome news for the Rams, as Nacua made a notable impact in his return last week after missing time due to a previous knee injury from Week 1.
In his first game back, Nacua logged seven receptions for 106 yards, helping lead the Rams to a 30-20 victory over the Vikings. The Rams, now at 3-4, are looking to climb out of the bottom of the NFC West standings, where they trail the other three teams, each sitting at 4-4. A win against the Seahawks could shake up the division and provide a significant boost to their playoff hopes.
Nacua’s return is crucial for the Rams, who view him as a key piece of their offense. In his debut season, Nacua broke records with 105 receptions and 1,486 receiving yards, the most ever by a rookie. He also made playoff history with 181 receiving yards in the NFC Wild Card Round against the Lions. Sunday’s matchup, airing on FOX at 4:25 p.m. ET, will be a pivotal one for both Nacua and the Rams as they aim to secure a much-needed divisional win.
