Rams HC Sean McVay told reporters that he expects WR Puka Nacua, who has had a groin injury, to play Sunday vs. the Eagl Via @AdamSchefter on X

What happened: Sean McVay told reporters he expects the wideout to suit up Sunday against Philadelphia. Nacua has been managing a groin injury that kept him out of practice last week.

Why it matters: Nacua remains the Rams' top target after a 129-catch, 1,715-yard 2025 season with 10 touchdowns. His availability shapes Los Angeles' offense against Philadelphia.

By the numbers: In 2025, Nacua caught 129 passes for 1,715 yards and 10 touchdowns in 16 games. Drafted 177th overall out of BYU in 2023, he is listed as questionable as of Sept. 29.

What to watch: Watch the final injury designation before Sunday. His role against Philadelphia will confirm his workload.
