Rams Nacua Questionable for Monday Night Game vs Giants

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua is listed as questionable for Monday night's Week 2 game against the New York Giants due to a hip injury, head coach Sean McVay said Saturday. Nacua did not practice on Friday or Saturday, and McVay emphasized that the team is being cautious with the key offensive player. The injury was not on the Rams' initial report Thursday, but Nacua was added Friday with a hip designation. There is some discrepancy in reports, with some sources indicating hip soreness and others mentioning groin soreness. McVay stated that Nacua has been experiencing soreness since after Thursday's practice and that it is separate from a previous psoas issue he had during training camp. Nacua was a full participant in practice on Thursday before missing the subsequent sessions. He played in the Rams' Week 1 loss to the San Francisco 49ers in Melbourne, Australia, recording five receptions for 74 yards. The Rams lost that game 27-7, and the international travel has been suggested by some as a potential factor in player fatigue, though the team has not confirmed this.
