Rams' Puka Nacua: May be trending toward sitting Week 2
Nacua (hip), who is officially listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Giants "is trending the wrong way" in advance of the Week 2 contest, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
After being added to the Rams' injury report Friday, Nacua proceeded to miss the team's final two practices of the week due to a sore hip. Though the Rams are likely to treat Nacua as a gameday decision with a call on his status perhaps going all the way up to the 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff, the wideout currently seems to be trending toward sitting out the Week 2 contest. With that in mind, fantasy managers planning on including Nacua in lineups this week will want to have an alternative option available to pivot to Monday in the event he sits out.

Rams' Puka Nacua: Looking like game-time call
Nacua (hip) is considered by the Rams "to be a pre-game decision" for Monday's game against the Giants, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Nacua sat out practice both Friday and Saturday with what was officially listed as a hip injury and what head coach Sean McVay said was "soreness in his groin," leaving his status up in the air for Week 2. Nacua was given a questionable designation, and while it seems he will have a chance to take the field Monday night, fantasy players will want to have another option at the ready in case he is unable to give it a go.

Rams' Puka Nacua: Questionable for Monday
Coach Sean McVay said Nacua (hip) won't practice Saturday and will be listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Giants, Benjamin Royer of The Orange County Register reports.
Nacua thus will miss practice for a second day in a row to end Week 2 prep, and McVay also told Royer that the wide receiver is dealing with some soreness in his groin, but the Rams will see how he feels as Monday's kickoff approaches. The issue apparently is different than the psoas soreness that Nacua tended to during training camp, and his status very well could come down to a game-time decision.

Rams' Puka Nacua: DNP due to hip injury
Nacua didn't practice Friday due to a hip injury, Benjamin Royer of The Orange County Register reports.
Nacua wasn't present during the portion of Friday's practice open to the media, but now the reason for his absence is known. He has just one more chance to prove his health ahead of Monday's game against the Giants and avoid a Week 2 injury designation. With Jordan Whittington (quadriceps) also showing up as a DNP on Friday's practice report, Davante Adams, Konata Mumpfield, Xavier Smith, Tutu Atwell and CJ Daniels represent the healthy wide receivers on the Rams' active roster.

Rams' Puka Nacua: Not seen at practice
Nacua didn't take part in the media-access portion of Friday's practice, Benjamin Royer of The Orange County Register reports.
Nacua dealt with psoas soreness for a good portion of training camp but avoided the Rams' Week 1 injury report entirely before suiting up and looking like his normal self against the 49ers in Melbourne, Australia, corralling five of nine targets for 74 yards. The reason for Friday's potential absence likely won't be known until the team posts its second practice report of the week.

Rams' Puka Nacua: Solid numbers in Week 1 loss
Nacua brought in five of nine targets for 74 yards during the Rams' 27-7 Week 1 loss to the 49ers in Melbourne, Australia.
Nacua was in the familiar position of leading the Rams in receptions, receiving yards and targets, but in a game where Los Angeles' offense surprisingly sputtered and Matthew Stafford threw for only 155 yards, those figures were still below the star wide receiver's lofty standards. Nacua's role as Stafford's unquestioned top target remains locked in, and despite the lackluster season-opening team performance, the fourth-year receiver should have plenty of opportunity to bounce back in a Week 2 home matchup against the Giants on Monday night, Sept. 21.

Rams' Puka Nacua: Avoids injury report
Nacua (core) was not listed on the injury report the Rams released Tuesday, according to Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com.
Nacua has been slowed since picking up a core muscle injury nearly a month ago, but he will avoid the injury report altogether in advance of Week 1. With Nacua seemingly at full speed, expect him to fill his usual role when the Rams kick off their season against the 49ers in Australia.

Rams' Puka Nacua: Expected to play in Australia
Rams head coach Sean McVay said Sunday that Nacua (core) is expected to play Thursday against the 49ers in Melbourne, Australia, Nate Atkins of The Athletic reports.
According to Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com, McVay noted earlier in the weekend that Nacua was "making good progress" in his recovery from psoas soreness, and the coach's latest update offers further reassurance that the star wideout will be ready to go for the season opener. Additionally, Nacua's status had been muddled by the NFL actively reviewing his case for a potential violation of the league's personal conduct policy. While Nacua isn't necessarily in the clear of discipline from the league, the NFL typically announces suspensions for players prior to the Aug. 30 roster cutdown deadline. Nacua's recovery from the core injury thus appears to be his chief concern at this juncture rather than any suspension, and if the Rams list him as a full practice participant when they release their first injury report of the season Monday, it would be a firm indication that he'll suit up Thursday.
