Per ESPN…

Sources: Rams WR Nacua (knee) week-to-week

Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua is considered week-to-week after sustaining a knee injury on Sunday, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

I’d say this is good news. These injuries suck but they’re happening now as opposed to during the season. It may be a bumpy road in the first quarter / half of the year, however…

Let’s see.

Hopefully we are just getting all of our injuries for the year out of the way early, before the season starts. :/

McVay, please sit Kupp during these preseason games.

McVay, please sit Kupp during these preseason games.

McVay never plays any starters during preseason games. I'm more worried about these practice scrimmages and they are doing them with three different teams this year. I get doing at least one since they don't play in preseason games but three seems a bit much especially with our injury luck so far in training camp.

Puka I'm not worried about. But line has 3 starters that are not day to day but week to week. Could affect the cohesiveness. A bad line due to injuries can derail the best offenses.

Maybe these injuries are a result of not having longer camps with more of a ramping up period.

The video I saw, the DB got his left leg down right in front of Puka's right, which glanced off & bent inwards kind of awkwardly before he went to the ground. So likely just a strain / bruise, nothing like a NCI where he was trying to stop & twisted it up or anything.

I’m going with mostly conditioning. How many games did Donald miss despite playing like a Tasmanian Devil every fuckin’ down.

Well, AD puts workout warriors to shame. Few players, especially Olinemen work their bodies to the extent that he does year round.

The fact Puka stuck around afterwards in uniform gives me hope that the injury is not significant. They would certainly be running him through an MRI by this point, or we'd hear word of it too I would think, as well. So on this front no news is good news.

Kupp won't play in preseason. Not sure he has ever played in the preseason.

I understand AD is a unicorn and each position is different. But if you continually breakdown in the course of a season perhaps you need to alter your strength and conditioning off-season.

Reggie Scott is regarded as one of the best in the league.

I guess the silver lining with these injuries is none of them would be playing the next 3 weeks anyway so heal up guys and let's be ready to go week 1.

Loyola Marymount field an injury contributor?

Kupp played in the preseason in 2017, his rookie year. Actually had a fumble recovery TD vs the Cowgirls.

Exactly what I was thinking.
Glad camp’s over so we don’t have to test that theory anymore!

There’s actually some good that comes out of it.The Rams got other guys some extra Reps,plus now they have some tape on the Chargers that The Rams(chargers) get to correct.

Rams play & practice with Dallas this week & next week get the Chargers again.

Not Serious does not equal week to week, if you are out a week, that's serious. Maybe they think season ending is serious.

Week to week in preseason may also mean something different from what it would mean in the regular season.
