What happened: Rams coach Sean McVay praised receiver Puka Nacua on the Coach McVay Show, saying he has been "outstanding for us since the beginning of his career." The Rams drafted Nacua in the fifth round of the 2023 NFL Draft, 177th overall, out of BYU.

Why it matters: Nacua has caught 56 passes for 565 yards and 3 touchdowns in 2026 through 6 games. The Rams are 3-4 and have leaned on injury returns rather than trade-deadline additions.

What to watch: Nacua's availability remains tied to the Rams' injury updates as the team works through a 3-4 start.
