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.

Before Cam Skattebo and Jaxson Dart were carving up the Eagles (Oct. 9, 2025) and Cowboys (last Sunday) with the whole league watching, the Giants were quarterbacked by Daniel Jones, whose 1-15 primetime record with the Giants was the worst in the history of the NFL.

You can call it a coincidence that those Brian Daboll-, Joe Judge- and Pat Shurmur-led teams dropped passes, jumped offsides, missed kicks, tripped over the turf monster and invented other ways to lose and become a primetime punchline year after year. asserted
teams → call → year
But a correlation seems more likely, especially when the swaggy Tommy DeVito led the Giants to a primetime upset in Jones’ place against the Packers in 2023. asserted
DeVito → seem → 2023
