What happened: Puka Nacua has been managing psoas soreness since leaving an Aug. 11 Rams practice early. He also could face discipline under the NFL's personal conduct policy for previous off-field behavior.

Why it matters: His availability would keep Los Angeles' primary receiving option in the plan for the opener. Any league action could still change that status before kickoff.

What to watch: Watch Nacua's game-week practice participation ahead of Thursday's kickoff in Melbourne.
