The Aporia · Puka Nacua family member GF walks back ‘promise’ about Rams star’s status vs Giants

Ivie Gonsalves, girlfriend of Puka Nacua’s brother Samson, initially suggested via TikTok that Puka would play in the Los Angeles Rams' game against the New York Giants despite his knee injury. However, she later deleted her comment and added a disclaimer stating she had no information about Puka's status for the game. The article clarifies that fans should not rely on Gonsalves’ comments as definitive regarding Nacua’s playing status for Monday night.

Story summary

Puka Nacua, a star wide receiver for the Los Angeles Rams, will miss their Monday Night Football game against the New York Giants due to an unexplained hip injury. This development came as a surprise after Nacua had been fully participating in practices on Thursday, but did not practice on Friday and was listed as questionable. Despite testing his injury during pregame warmups at SoFi Stadium, he could not get comfortable enough to play. The Rams' offense struggled in their season opener against the San Francisco 49ers with only seven points scored, and Nacua’s absence puts even more pressure on quarterback Matthew Stafford and other receivers like Davante Adams. Additionally, backup receiver Jordan Whittington is also doubtful due to a quad injury, further depleting the team's depth at wide receiver.
