What happened: Sean McVay said Puka Nacua felt groin soreness after Thursday's practice. McVay added that the issue is separate from the training-camp injury concerns Nacua dealt with earlier, leaving his availability for Monday night's game against the Giants to be sorted out closer to kickoff.
Why it matters: The Rams may not settle part of their receiver plan until pregame warmups Monday night against New York. The uncertainty extends a weekend-long wait after Nacua was already trending toward a game-time call.
By the numbers: Nacua's status has shifted through five dated updates since Aug. 11, including two in the final two days before the Giants game. He left practice early on Aug. 11, was expected to play the opener on Sept. 6, and is again questionable entering Monday night.
What to watch: Los Angeles will make the call when it sets its inactive list Monday night. If Nacua dresses, pregame warmups will be the last checkpoint before kickoff.
