Puka Nacua officially inactive for Week 2 vs. NYG

News of a new Nacua injury didn’t emerge until Friday, throwing Fantasy coaches into a late-week scramble to find a suitable replacement, made even more complicated by him entering the weekend as a game-time decision. Those who held out in hopes he could play against the Giants now find themselves with limited options. Nacua reportedly went through an abbreviated pre-game workout to determine his availability and ultimately failed to prove he was healthy enough to participate. The Rams suddenly find themselves extremely weak at wide receiver with Jordan Whittington also inactive. Tutu Atwell, Konata Mumpfield and Xavier Smith will battle for snaps behind Davante Adams, while there remains the ever-present possibility that the Rams will lean on heavy-handed lineups. Joining Nacua and Whittington as inactive are S Kam Kinchens, WR CJ Daniels, QB Ty Simpson and OL Bill Murray.
