Los Angeles Rams star wide receiver Puka Nacua is expected to be placed on injured reserve after being diagnosed with an MCL sprain, PCL sprain, and turf toe following the team's win over the Washington Commanders on Sunday.

Nacua, 25, put up a season-high 150 receiving yards on 14 receptions (19 targets) with one touchdown. He leads the team in receiving yards (715) and has 40 more receptions (70) than the next player (Davante Adams - 30). 

Nacua originally missed Week 2 and Week 3 due to hip and groin injury. During that time, the Rams went 1-1, defeating the New York Giants 28-6 and losing to the Denver Broncos 30-26. 

The Rams are entering Week 10 of the regular season with a 5-4 record as they're set to face off against their NFC West division rival Arizona Cardinals on November 15th. 

Arizona will also be without starting quarterback Gardner Minshew after it was reported that he suffered a torn UCL. Minshew was recently named the starter for the Cardinals going forward after they benched, then traded, former starter Jacoby Brissett to the Baltimore Ravens. 

Now, rookie Carson Beck is in line to start.
