Nacua had a big game last week catching 14 balls for 150 yards and scored a touchdown. He has 70 catches this season, which is tied for the third most in the NFL. That’s especially impressive considering he’s only played in seven games after missing two in September. He’s also seventh in the league with 715 receiving yards.
This is a huge blow for the Rams who are already without DaVante Adams and sitting at 5-4, a far cry from the preseason super team predictions. When the season began there were concerns that Nacua would miss time due to suspension because of some off-field incidents during the offseason, but that never came to fruition.
The Rams play the Arizona Cardinals this week and then have a bye before they play the Green Bay Packers on Thanksgiving eve. In theory Nacua could return for the team’s Week 14 game against the San Francisco 49ers.
