May miss more than four games Coach Sean McVay said Wednesday that Nacua (knee) has a "unique" injury that may require him to miss more than the required four games while on injured reserve, Adam Grosbard of Th...

Impact The Rams conveniently have a Week 6 bye on the schedule that affords Nacua and other teammates on IR to get a bit more rehab in before a potential earliest return Week 7 against the Raiders, but each of those issues may require additional time to recover from. The team officially placed Nacua on IR on Wednesday due to a PCL sprain in his right knee that he suffered Sunday night at Detroit, which was an aggravation of the bursa sac issue that he sustained Aug. 4. As long as Nacua is sidelined, Cooper Kupp will be L.A.'s clear-cut top wide receiver, with Demarcus Robinson and Tyler Johnson the next players up at the position.
