Rams change course, place wide receiver Puka Nacua on injured reserve

LOS ANGELES — The Rams on Thursday placed Puka Nacua on injured reserve, meaning the star receiver must sit out at least four games. Nacua was injured last Sunday on the Rams' final play of their 20-13 victory over the Washington Commanders. Nacua, who had 14 receptions for 150 yards and a touchdown, was hit while carrying the ball on a jet sweep. kAm%96 #2>D 92G6 6IA6C:6?465 2 7=FCCJ @7 :?;FC:6D[ 2?5 }u{ CF=6D =:>:E E62>D 7C@> 24E:G2E:?8 >@C6 E92? 6:89E A=2J6CD 2 J62C 7C@> :?;FC65 C6D6CG6]k^Am kAm~?
