Puka Nacua carted off the field after suffering knee injury

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua suffered an apparent leg injury in his team’s Week 1 contest against the Detroit Lions.

Nacua landed awkwardly after completing a 6-yard catch midway through the second quarter at Ford Field in Detroit, Mich.

The Pro Bowler was initially deemed questionable to return due to what the team labeled a knee injury. He later came back into the game for the Rams’ next offensive possession.

However, Nacua’s return to the field was short-lived. He wasn’t able to make any catches before the end of the half. The second-year pro was then later seen being carted off the field at the break.

Last season, Nacua had one of the best rookie seasons in recent memory . He played in all 17 games for the Rams, tallying 105 catches for 1,486 yards with 6 receiving touchdowns. With All-Pro Cooper Kupp dealing with injuries of his own last year, Nacua led the team in all three categories.

Nacua also missed a good chunk of training camp also due to a knee injury. It remains unclear if his Week 1 injury is related to the knee issue that plagued him last month.
