Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay provided important injury updates on key players, including standout rookie wide receiver Puka Nacua and punter Ethan Evans, as the team prepares to face the Seattle Seahawks this weekend.
McVay shared that Nacua, who has been a vital part of the Rams’ receiving corps this season, is dealing with a lingering injury but remains hopeful to be ready for Sunday. Nacua’s impact has been substantial, as he quickly became a go-to target for quarterback Matthew Stafford. McVay and the medical staff are closely monitoring Nacua’s progress, understanding his significance to the offense.
In addition, McVay mentioned that punter Ethan Evans is working through a minor injury. The team will assess his availability as game day approaches, with contingency plans in place if Evans is unable to go.
McVay also addressed the status of other players dealing with various ailments, noting that the team is taking a cautious approach to ensure that they’re as close to full strength as possible against a divisional rival. Facing the Seahawks, who are contending for a playoff spot, the Rams are eager to have as many healthy players as possible to execute their game plan and end their divisional skid.
