Xavier Smith

Rams coach Sean McVay said he's not sure whether Puka Nacua will play in Week 3, but the team is not worried that the wide receiver's injury will be "any sort of long-term threat."

Nacua did not play Monday night with what was listed as a hip injury on the injury report, but McVay later clarified that Nacua was dealing with "a little bit of soreness" in his groin.

A fifth consecutive absence Friday would place Nacua in serious danger of missing another game. Adams would remain Matthew Stafford’s clear top target if Nacua sits, while Ferguson could benefit after returning to full participation Thursday. Parkinson missed practice with a knee injury, leaving the Rams’ secondary receiving options unsettled.
