The Los Angeles Rams expect wide receiver Puka Nacua to play in their Week 1 game against the San Francisco 49ers in Australia.
Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter): Rams WR Puka Nacua, who has been dealing with psoas soreness and also could be facing potential discipline under the NFL’s personal conduct policy for previous off-the-field behavior, is expected to play in Week 1 vs. the 49ers, per HC Sean McVay.
Adam Schefter reported that Nacua has been dealing with psoas soreness. The expectation that he will play came from Rams head coach Sean McVay. Schefter's post did not provide a diagnosis beyond the soreness or describe any planned limitation for Nacua.
Nacua could face potential discipline under the NFL's personal conduct policy for previous off-field behavior. No league decision or timetable has been announced. That leaves the Rams expecting Nacua in the lineup for the opener while the separate policy matter remains unresolved.
