Puka Nacua Getting back to normal

Coach Sean McVay said Thursday that Nacua (knee) has been practicing "fully," and "he'll be ready to roll," Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

Nacua left a joint practice with the Chargers on Aug. 4 due to a knee injury that McVay later called a bursa sac issue. McVay also relayed at the time an expectation that Nacua would be available Week 1, and the wide receiver displayed the first bit of visible progress in his recovery by practicing Monday. The Rams won't be posting their first injury report of the upcoming season until next Wednesday, but considering McVay's comments this week, Nacua appears destined to be listed as a full participant or even avoid showing up on it at all. Nacua is coming of a spectacular rookie campaign in 2023 in which he posted a 105-1,486-6 line on 160 targets in 17 regular-season games.
