Will Puka Nacua play in Week 8 for the Rams? What we know before kickoff vs. Vikings
This post is updated with new information.
We know that Cooper Kupp is back from his high ankle sprain for the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday -- and hey, maybe the team is showcasing him for a trade -- but what about Puka Nacua, who hasn't played since Week 1?
Turns out he might play on Thursday against the Minnesota Vikings.
Per NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, there is now "optimism" that he'll play. He might be limited, he said, but it's possible he'll be out there, suited up and at least active.
Stay tuned for more. This could be huge for fantasy football teams and the real Los Angeles Rams:
