Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua suffered a knee injury on the final offensive snap of the team's 20-13 win over the Washington Commanders on Sunday, according to Yahoo Sports.
Nacua is set to undergo an MRI on Monday to determine the severity of the injury, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The Rams do not believe he suffered a torn ACL, but further specifics, including how long he may be sidelined, are not yet known.
Nacua went down with the knee injury late in the game at Northwest Stadium. He caught a short pass with about 90 seconds left and was brought down well short of the line to gain. He jumped back up and left the field normally after being tackled.
Earlier in the game, Nacua entered the blue medical tent after running a deep route on an incomplete third-down pass. He later said he had been flagged for a potential concussion and returned to action.
Nacua finished with 14 receptions on 19 targets for 150 yards and a touchdown, while adding 20 yards rushing. He scored a touchdown in the fourth quarter on a 7-yard catch from Matthew Stafford.
The victory brought the Rams to a 5-4 record, the first time they have been above .500 this season. They have won three straight games and will enter next week's matchup with the Arizona Cardinals. The Rams have a bye in Week 11.
Nacua is an All-Pro wide receiver for the Rams. The team has already placed fellow wideout Davante Adams on injured reserve due to a ruptured hamstring suffered in Week 6 against the Cardinals. Nacua has previously missed time this season with a hip injury and has caught a touchdown in four of his past five games. Head coach Sean McVay is expected to address the injury when he speaks with reporters Monday.
