Puka Nacua reportedly doubtful for September 27 game at Denver with groin injury

Adam Schefter reported on September 27, 2026, citing league sources, that Puka Nacua's groin injury was affecting his explosiveness. Nacua could functionally play but did not feel he had his usual explosiveness. According to Schefter, the Rams viewed the injury as short-term, with a possible return against the Eagles the following week. The organization did not believe surgery would be needed, though it remained a possibility if Nacua showed no improvement.
