Puka Nacua's girlfriend Hailee Aiono pens heartfelt note after Rams WR's first game back from injured reserve

The Los Angeles Rams hosted the Minnesota Vikings at SoFi Stadium to kick off the Week 8 NFL schedule. The Rams received some early good news with star wide receiver Cooper Kupp back in action after dealing with an ankle injury but Sean McVay was given some added good news after fellow wide receiver Puka Nacua also made his return from a sprained cruciate ligament injury he suffered in Week 1.

While there were concerns that Nakua would be on a snap count since he was just activated off Injured Reserve, those concerns were quelled soon enough after the Rams playmaker delivered under the bright lights of primetime football to rack up the Rams' third win of the season. That Nacua's return came in a game where they also handed the Vikings just their second defeat of the season will have proven extra sweet.

Puka Nacua's girlfriend Hailee Aiono was also present for his triumphant return, decked out in Rams merchandise complete with a foam finger. Aiono penned a heartfelt note for her boyfriend after the Rams' third win, saying:

"I am so proud of you puka baby. You never fail to amaze me. Another dub for our ramily!"

Nacua hauled in seven of his nine targets for 106 yards on Thursday night.
