Is Puka Nacua playing tonight vs Eagles? Rams WR's status explored for Week 12 SNF showdown
At one point, it looked like all was lost for the Los Angeles Rams but they have since rallied and clawed their way to a 5-5 record entering Week 12. However, a test against the Philadelphia Eagles will certainly test the Rams' credentials as they brace themselves to battle it out under the bright lights of primetime football. The Eagles haven't fired on all cylinders just yet but are still 8-2 and their offense has shown signs of clicking in recent weeks.
The Rams will need to be at the top of their game to get anything out of this Sunday Night Football matchup but they do have a few injury concerns. However, star wideout Puka Nacua is not listed among those concerns, which means QB Matthew Stafford will have all his weapons at his disposal when the Rams take the field later tonight.
Is Puka Nacua playing tonight vs Eagles?
Since making his return from injury, Nacua has featured heavily in this Rams offense. He was not on the injury report for Week 12 which means we will see Nacua suit up in full when they take on Philly this evening.
Last week against the New England Patriots, the Rams WR had an eventful outing, registering seven catches off nine targets for 123 yards and a touchdown. The week prior, in a loss to the Miami Dolphins, Nacua registered 98 receiving yards off nine receptions.
Alongside Cooper Kupp, Nacua has made this Rams receiving corps one of the best in the league but with the Eagles defense showing out every week, he will have to dig deep and work hard when they face off at the SoFi Stadium tonight.
