Impact Nacua seems likely to miss at least the Rams' road matchup against Arizona in Week 2 as he works to recover from his aggravated knee injury, though the second-year pro may not receive a clear recovery timetable until after the conclusion of his remaining medical tests. Head coach Sean McVay previously called the injury that sidelined Nacua in training camp a bursa sac issue. As long as Nacua remains sidelined, Cooper Kupp will stand to benefit from increased target volume as the definitive No. 1 target for quarterback Matthew Stafford, while Demarcus Robinson will figure to step up as the No. 2 WR. Tyler Johnson could step into the No. 3 spot after he played 66 percent of offensive snaps Sunday against Detroit.

Slated for testing on knee Nacua is scheduled to undergo testing Monday after exited Sunday's 26-20 overtime loss to the Lions with a right knee injury, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact Nacua caught four passes for 35 yards and carried once for seven yards before he was pulled from the game after he appeared to land hard on his knee following a reception. After getting evaluated on the sideline, Nacua checked back in for a few plays but eventually headed back to the bench and was ruled out for the remainder of the contest. Nacua's upcoming tests should shed more light on the nature of his injury, but it's worth noting that the right knee is the same one that bothered him in training camp and the preseason, when he was held out of practices for much of August due to what head coach Sean McVay labeled as a bursa sac issue. The Rams are back in action Sunday in Arizona, and a potential Nacua absence for that game or any contests beyond that would allow Cooper Kupp to operate as the clear No. 1 wideout while perhaps opening up extra targets for receiver Demarcus Robinson and tight end Colby Parkinson.

The Rams are back in action Sunday in Arizona, and a potential Nacua absence would likely mean more volume for Cooper Kupp as the clear No. 1 wideout. Demarcus Robinson, who caught four passes (on seven targets) for 42 yards against the Lions, would likely take on a bigger role as well, while Tutu Atwell and Jordan Whittington also could get additional opportunities.

Won't return against Lions Nacua (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Lions.
Impact Nacua briefly came back into the game after being ruled questionable to return in the first half, but he promptly exited again and needed the cart to get to the locker room at halftime. Having been ruled out for the second half of the season opener, Nacua's next chance to take the field will be next Sunday in Arizona.

Questionable to return due to knee Nacua (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Lions.
Impact Nacua got hurt in the first half after catching all four of his targets for 35 yards and adding a seven-yard rush. It's unclear if this knee injury is related to the bursa sac issue in his knee that bothered Nacua throughout August but didn't affect his preparation during the week leading up to Sunday's regular-season opener.
