Los Angeles Rams receiver Puka Nacua is battling yet another injury problem after the receiver left practice early on Thursday.
The 23-year-old, who enjoyed a record-breaking rookie season in 2023, only returned to practice last week after a knee injury.
But on Thursday, he was listed as 'limited' on the injury report after suffering an issue with the same knee.
Back in January, the No 177 pick in the 2023 NFL draft, set a new rookie record for receiving yards.
But Nacua's injury problems have limited the wide receiver to just two appearances o far this season.
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua is battling yet another injury problem
Rams head coach Sean McVay has had to do without Nacua for much of the 2024 season
He had to deal with knee issues throughout training camp and preseason. Nacua then aggravated the problem during the Rams' Week 1 loss to the Lions.
The 23-year-old had four receptions for 35 yards before leaving the field. He remained on the sideline until last week, when he returned against the Minnesota Vikings.
Nacua had seven catches for 106 yards as Sean McVay's side secured a 30-20 win. It was a huge boost for the Rams, who also saw Cooper Kupp return from injury last week.
Kupp hurt his ankle in Week 2 to deepen the Rams' struggles. Los Angeles are 3-4 for the season heading into Sunday's game against the Seahawks.
