Puka Nacua and Myles Garrett, two absolute studs for the Rams, are still sitting out of practice this Monday. That’s right, they aren’t on the field with their team.
Injury Woes for L.A.’s Stars
Nacua’s got a core muscle injury, and he picked that up during last week’s joint practice with the Cowboys. Garrett? He’s dealing with some swelling in his knee that has kept him sidelined. It’s a double whammy for the Rams, seeing two of their key guys stuck on the sidelines. You never want to see that, especially when the season is just around the corner.
The Preseason Game Plan
The Rams are set to host the Saints this Saturday afternoon for a preseason matchup. Now, here’s the kicker: neither Nacua nor Garrett were even expected to play in that game. Head coach Sean McVay has a clear philosophy; he doesn’t typically play his starters in the preseason. So, while it definitely stings to see them out of practice, it doesn’t actually change the game plan for this weekend’s contest for the starters.
Even with McVay’s plan, you gotta wonder how quickly these guys will be back to full speed. Getting Nacua and Garrett fully healthy is the top priority for the Rams as the real games approach.
