Puka Nacua Injury: Week 9 return possible

Rams head coach Sean McVay said Friday that Nacua, who won't play Sunday against the Jaguars in London, is "making good progress" in his recovery from a left llow ankle sprain, and he's "optimistic about hopefully having him ready after the [Week 8] bye," Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Nacua hasn't practiced since injuring his ankle during this past Sunday's win at Baltimore, a contest in which he finished with a 2-28-0 line on three targets. With Nacua out Week 7, Davante Adams will step in as the Rams' top pass catcher, while the likes of wideouts Jordan Whittington and Tutu Atwell, running back Kyren Williams and tight end Tyler Higbee round out the receiving corps. Nacua's next chance for game action will arrive Nov. 2 versus the Saints.
