Los Angeles Rams officials said wide receiver Puka Nacua will undergo additional knee testing on Monday, after the team expressed confidence that he did not suffer a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his recent injury.
Sources close to the Rams indicated that the medical staff’s preliminary assessment is that the ACL remains intact, but definitive imaging is required to confirm the condition of the joint.
The upcoming imaging, likely an MRI, is standard procedure for evaluating knee injuries in the NFL, where players often face rigorous physical demands and the league’s medical teams rely on such scans to determine the extent of ligament or cartilage damage.
While the Rams have not disclosed how the injury occurred, they emphasized that the results of Monday’s tests will dictate Nacua’s short‑term availability and any necessary treatment plan.
Until the imaging is reviewed, the team will keep Nacua’s status on the injury report, and his participation in upcoming practices and games will depend on the medical findings.
