The Rams' Nacua left practice with a knee injury, but it is not considered serious

LOS ANGELES – Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua left practice with a knee injury, but it is not believed to be a serious injury, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Nacua's status for the Rams' Week 9 game against the Seattle Seahawks has yet to be determined, according to a source, who said he “should be fine.”

The injury affected the same knee that Nacua hurt in training camp and then aggravated in the Rams' season opener, a team spokesman said. Nacua was listed as a limited participant in practice on Thursday after leaving early due to injury.

In addition to missing time in training camp due to the knee injury, Nacua missed Weeks 2 through 7 on injured reserve. He was activated from IR for Week 8 against the Minnesota Vikings.

According to ESPN Research, Nacua had seven catches for 106 yards in his first game back from the injury, giving him his eighth game with 100 receiving yards in 19 career games.

In two games this season, Nacua has 11 catches for 141 yards. As a rookie last season, Nacua set records for the most receptions (105) and receiving yards (1,486) for a rookie in NFL history.
