- Head coach Sean McVay denied Wednesday that Puka Nacua has a hernia, though the Los Angeles Rams are erring on the side of caution with the receiver's groin injury. McVay stated "Usually time is the best thing that allows that thing to heal."

- The stakes intensify for Nacua as potential surgery could sideline him for approximately half the season, with McVay weighing caution against the receiver's importance as the NFL's 2025 receptions leader.
