"Puka Nacua returned to the Rams' lineup in spectacular fashion, catching a touchdown pass, amassing nearly 100 yards receiving and picking up a key yardage on a fourth-down jet sweep during a victory over the New Orleans Saints. But that rushing play, which ended with a crushing hit, came with a cost. On Monday, Nacua was scheduled to have a scan of his injured ribs,"
"McVay on Monday said he felt "sick" about leaving Nacua susceptible to injury because of the play call. "I'm kicking myself about putting him in that spot where he sustained that shot to the ribs," McVay said. Nacua's physical playing style leaves him prone to injuries. He sustained an ankle injury against the Baltimore Ravens on Oct. 12 that forced him to sit out against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London on Oct. 19."

The rushing play resulted in a crushing hit that injured his ribs and forced him out of the game. A scan of the ribs was scheduled for Monday. Coach Sean McVay expressed regret for the play call that exposed Nacua to contact and said he was "kicking myself" for putting him in that spot. McVay also said he felt optimistic about Nacua's condition ahead of the upcoming game. Nacua previously missed a game after an Oct. 12 ankle injury.
