The Rams have had a lot of injuries so far this season.
One consequence of this is that the team’s slots for players returning from injured reserve are fewer and fewer.
That’s part of why, even though Puka Nacua is expected to miss several weeks with a knee injury, he won’t be placed on IR at this time.
Via Greg Beacham of the Associated Press, head coach Sean McVay told reporters Wednesday that “roster semantics” would keep Nacua at No. 53.
He’s still going to be out for a significant period of time,” McVay said.
Nacua is currently suffering from two ligament sprains in his knee and turf toe.
But help is on the way for the Rams receiving corps, with Davante Adams potentially returning for the Week 13 game against the Chiefs.
