The All-Pro wide receiver caught a short pass with about 90 seconds left at Northwest Stadium and was tackled well short of the line to gain.\n\nNothing appeared to go wrong in the moment. Nacua popped back up and walked off the field normally after the tackle. Still, the team held him out the rest of the way as a precaution.\n\nAccording to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Rams do not believe Nacua suffered a torn ACL, though the exact nature of the injury remains unclear. He is set to undergo an MRI on Monday to determine the severity and how much time, if any, he might miss.\n\nFor a Rams team that has already dealt with its share of injury trouble this season, losing Nacua for any real stretch would sting. He has been one of the team's most productive weapons, and Los Angeles will be watching Monday's imaging results closely before figuring out next steps.","published_at":"2026-11-08T23:51:48.639845+00:00","source_count":5,"written_from":[{"outlet":"Fox Sports","publisher":"Fox Sports","title":"Puka Nacua Reportedly Injured Late in Rams’ Win, Set For MRI On Monday","url":"https://www.foxsports.com/stories/nfl/puka-nacua-hurts-knee-late-rams-win-over-commanders-set-mri-monday"},{"outlet":"New York Post","publisher":"New York Post","title":"Rams’ injury nightmare continues as Puka Nacua suffers mysterious knee injury on final play","url":"https://nypost.com/2026/11/08/sports/rams-star-puka-nacua-suffers-knee-injury-vs-commanders-mri-scheduled-for-monday/"},{"outlet":"CBS Sports","publisher":"CBS Sports","title":"Puka Nacua injury: Rams WR to undergo MRI after suffering knee injury on final snap, per report","url":"https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/puka-nacua-injury-rams-wr-undergo-mri-knee-injury-on-final-snap/"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Rams star Puka Nacua reportedly dealing with knee injury after win over Commanders, will undergo MRI","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/breaking-news/article/rams-star-puka-nacua-reportedly-dealing-with-knee-injury-after-win-over-commanders-will-undergo-mri-224859080.html"},{"outlet":"Pro Football Talk","publisher":"NBC Sports","title":"Puka Nacua suffered knee injury on final offensive play of game","url":"https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/puka-nacua-suffered-knee-injury-on-final-offensive-play-of-game"}],"more_coverage":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Rams All-Pro Puka Nacua reportedly suffered knee injury in Week 9 win over Commanders, will undergo MRI","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/breaking-news/article/rams-all-pro-puka-nacua-reportedly-suffered-knee-injury-in-week-9-win-over-commanders-will-undergo-mri-223035908.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Did Puka Nacua tear his ACL on Rams’ final offensive play?","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/did-puka-nacua-tear-acl-223213904.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Puka Nacua injury update after Rams’ Week 9 win leaves concern for WR’s status","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/puka-nacua-injury-rams-week-223407268.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Rams WR Puka Nacua injured his knee on final play, will get MRI","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/rams-wr-puka-nacua-injured-223251460.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Puka Nacua suffered knee injury on final offensive play of game","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/puka-nacua-suffered-knee-injury-224009820.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"All-Pro WR Puka Nacua suffers knee injury in Rams’ win vs Commanders","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/pro-wr-puka-nacua-suffers-231523354.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Puka Nacua injury update as Rams WR to undergo MRI after hurting knee in Week 9","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/puka-nacua-injury-rams-wr-231632012.html"}],"image":{"url":"https://statics.foxsports.com/www.foxsports.com/content/uploads/2026/11/gettyimages-2304174374-scaled-e1794178616240.jpg","credit":"Fox Sports","width":2560},"embed":null,"license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/","attribution":"Analysis data is licensed CC BY 4.0.
