    The Rams say rookie WR Puka Nacua didn’t practice today due to an oblique injury. He got hit in the ribs pretty good during his 10-catch debut, and he had a bandage/padding on it after practice Wednesday.
    .
    “In college, they definitely weren’t hitting like that.” -Puka Nacua when I asked him yesterday how the hits he took in his NFL debut compared to the physical toll at Washington/BYU. He did say his ribs felt much better than they did Sunday or Monday.

    Puka Nacua must’ve taken 20 hits on Sunday. Also excelled as a blocker on snaps where he wasn’t targeted. At least 2-3 shots directly to the ribs. Need him to heal up for Sunday!

    Puka Nacua will be listed as questionable for Sunday’s game but Sean McVay expects him to play against the 49ers. He’ll be the only one who’s questionable on the injury report.

    Nacua, Shelton, Yeast, Jones all listed as questionable on Rams injury report but sounds like all are expected to play on Sunday.

    S Jason Taylor heads to IR with the groin injury.
    .
    Sean McVay with a small status update on WR Cooper Kupp today, after
    LATimesklein question about his IR timeline: “We’re hopeful about that. I want to be careful what (to say) but the reason we put him on IR was so that you know that if it’s gonna be those 4 weeks that he’s
    .
    mandated (to) miss, we can take him off the IR and be available that fifth week. That was the reason that we made that decision that we did last week, just because you don’t know what’s gonna come up. It doesn’t put a time table on rushing him back. … I want to be careful
    .
    (not) to put the cart before the horse, so they say, but I’m hopeful about that.”

    Sean McVay says Stetson Bennett is going on NFI for an undisclosed reason unrelated to his shoulder. Repeatedly says he is not going to discuss the matter.

    I do expect Puka Nacua to be active – whether publicly or behind the scenes have not heard differently.
