The Los Angeles Rams have plenty of time before their first regular-season game. That’s 34 days until Monday’s start, to be exact.
Still, hearing “week to week” about a star receiver’s knee injury is cause for alarm.
Record receiver Puka Nacua is week to week with a knee injury, though a source He told ESPN’s Adam Schefter The injury is “not serious.” It’s a bit of an odd juxtaposition.
While the injury might not be serious enough to keep Nacua out of regular season games, using the term “week to week” is a bit concerning. Especially when it comes to an injury to a player as important as Nacua.
Nacua set rookie records last season with 105 receptions for 1,486 yards. For those who play Yahoo fantasy football, he’s a first-round pick in most leagues. He was a fifth-round pick, but he instantly transformed the Rams’ offense, helping the team make the playoffs.
The good news is that the Rams can be patient, with the opener almost five weeks away. Hopefully, this is an injury that can heal and doesn’t become a lingering issue even when Nacua is back on the field. The Rams don’t seem concerned, but it’s something worth keeping an eye on during August.
