Rams WR Puka Nacua ruled out in London vs. Jaguars
Oct 12, 2025; Baltimore, Maryland, USA; Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua (12) celebrates after a play against the Baltimore Ravens during the second quarter of the game at M&T Bank Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Peter Casey-Imagn Images Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua was ruled out on Friday for a matchup with the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday in London.
Head coach Sean McVay delivered the expected verdict on the status of Nacua on Friday.
Nacua sustained a sprained left ankle in the second quarter of Sunday's 17-3 victory over the Baltimore Ravens. He briefly returned in the second half, albeit in a limited capacity.
The Rams (4-2) have a bye in Week 8, which would afford Nacua multiple weeks to recover.
Jordan Whittington, who has 10 receptions for 112 yards this season, likely would see a bigger role this week in the absence of Nacua. Davante Adams is the second-leading receiver on the roster with 26 receptions for 396 yards and three touchdowns.
Nacua, 24, has 54 catches for 616 yards and two TDs and leads the team in targets (65).
McVay also ruled out right tackle Rob Havenstein (ankle) against the Jaguars (4-2).
Havenstein, 33, has started all 145 games in which he has played since being selected by the Rams in the second round of the 2015 NFL Draft.
