Nov 09 (Field Level Media) – Los Angeles Rams star receiver Puka Nacua sustained ​a knee injury during the ‌team’s final offensive play against the Washington Commanders on Sunday and will undergo an MRI exam, according to multiple reports after ‌Sunday’s ​game.

Nacua was injured ⁠on a 5-yard run ⁠late in the 20-13 road victory over the Commanders. He took a hard hit but got up ​rather quickly.

Nacua wasn’t asked about his knee following the contest. In ⁠the third quarter, ⁠he was examined for a ​possible concussion before being cleared.

Nacua had ​another big performance as he caught ‌14 passes for a season-best 150 yards and a touchdown. It marked the ninth time Nacua has posted ⁠150 or more yards in a game.

His receptions were his third most in a ⁠game ‌and three shy of his ⁠career best set against ​the ‌Buffalo Bills in Week 5.

Nacua, ​25, has ⁠caught 25 passes over the past two games and has 70 in seven 2026 appearances. He has 715 receiving yards and four touchdown catches.
