A day after Sean McVay said The rams would not place Puka Nacua on injured reserve, wide receiver went to IR.
McVay said “roster semantics” would keep Nacua on the 53-man roster, with each team getting only eight designated spots to return during the season. The Rams used up three of their designations and have Kobie Turner, Davante Adams, Terrance Ferguson and now Nacua on IR with hopes of returning.
But with Nacua set to miss “extended time,” as McVay said Wednesday, with MCL and PCL sprains in his knee and turf toe, the Rams opted to move him to the IR list.
Nacua will miss at least the next four games, with the Dec. 20 Cowboys game being the earliest he can return under the rule.
The Rams signed wide receiver Brennan Presley to take Nacua’s place and added wide receiver Tyler Scott to the practice squad.
