As per reports, Puka Nacua suffered an oblique injury in Los Angeles' Week 2 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. He appeared on the Rams' injury report during the week and didn't practice on Thursday.

Nacua returned to training as a limited participant on Friday. However, his status for Week 3 remains questionable.

Nacua has been one of the most impressive rookies this season, but he has yet to get a touchdown. The receiver has formed a strong partnership with quarterback Matthew Stafford.
