Puka Nacua missed the Los Angeles Rams' Week 2 over the New York Giants, and while the Rams did just fine without him, there was hope that he'd come back from what was listed as a hip injury, but turned out to have something to do with his groin (and it's not a hernia). So what's the latest there? W

Puka Nacua missed the Los Angeles Rams' Week 2 over the New York Giants, and while the Rams did just fine without him, there was hope that he'd come back from what was listed as a hip injury, but turned out to have something to do with his groin (and it's not a hernia).

So what's the latest there? While speaking with ESPN Los Angeles on Wednesday, head coach Sean McVay had this to say: "We'll see. He's not making great progress, but we'll love welcome Puka back with open arms, but if not, I've got a ton of confidence in the group that we will go with if he doesn't go.

It doesn't sound good, but we'll wait for more info as it comes in.
