Rams' Nacua off IR plays TNF vs. Vikings

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua played Thursday night against the Minnesota Vikings after being activated off injured reserve.

Nacua's return meant the Rams got the second-year wideout and veteran receiver Cooper Kupp back in the lineup in the same game. Nacua had been sidelined since Week 1 with a knee injury, while Kupp sat out since injuring his ankle in Week 2.

Nacua is coming off an electric 2023 season, breaking the NFL record for most receptions (105) and receiving yards (1,486) by a rookie.

The Rams have struggled this season amid a slew of injuries. L.A. enters the prime-time matchup with a 2-4 record to sit at the bottom of the NFC West.
