The Rams could be without two key offensive players, as Puka Nacua and left tackle Alaric Jackson remain under NFL review over off-field incidents. Potential discipline could complicate the team’s effort to recover from a two-and-four start. Nacua also left practice with a calf injury and was listed as limited, though the injury’s severity was not known. Davante Adams was expected to miss the Rams’ game with a hamstring injury, leaving more responsibility on Nacua if he plays. Four-time Pro Bowler Roddy White questioned whether Nacua could sustain the workload the team needs from him, saying, “Don’t know how long he’s going to last.” The NFL review could affect both Nacua and Jackson, but further details about the process were not available. The injury update was reported by Sarah Bishop.
