When Puka Nacua left practice on Thursday with a knee injury, it looked as if the Los Angeles Rams wide receiver might once again be facing a spell on the sidelines.
But Nacua, who only returned last week from a knee issue that had kept him out since the Rams' season opener against the Detroit Lions, avoided a serious injury and will be available for the Rams' key NFC West clash with the Seattle Seahawks.
It had been reported earlier on Sunday that Nacua was expected to play, and he was indeed left off their inactives list for the game at Lumen Field.
Nacua was instrumental on his return last week as he caught seven passes for 106 yards in the Rams' surprise Thursday Night Football win over the Minnesota Vikings.
With Nacua and former Offensive Player of the Year Cooper Kupp in the lineup, quarterback Matthew Stafford has more than enough ammunition to dice up the Seahawks after throwing four touchdowns against Minnesota.
The Rams will take the lead of the NFC West if they win to improve to 4-4 and the Arizona Cardinals (4-4) lose to the Chicago Bears.
