Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua is week-to-week after suffering an injury to his right knee during Sunday's practice, ESPN reported Monday.

The injury is not believed to be serious, per the report.

Nacua, 24, left a joint practice with the Los Angeles Chargers after a series against their defense, then watched in full uniform from the sideline with a bag of ice on his knee, The Athletic reported Sunday.

Nacua became a star in his debut season in 2023, named runner-up in NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year voting and selected to the Pro Bowl.

He caught 105 passes for 1,486 yards and six touchdowns while starting all 17 games. A fifth-round pick, he set NFL rookie records for receptions and receiving yards.

The Rams open the regular season on Sept. 8 in Detroit.
