Is Puka Nacua playing tonight? Why Rams wide receiver is off to slow start vs. 49ers originally appeared on The Sporting News
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua is on the cusp of making NFL history in the Week 5 game against the San Francisco 49ers, but his chances of doing so are in trouble early on thanks to a slow start.
Nacua entered Thursday night needing eight catches to become the first player in league history to record 50 or more catches over the first five games of a season.
Unfortunately, Nacua has yet to get going against the Rams in Week 5, which is rare for the uber-talented wide receiver.
Here's a closer look at what's going on.
Is Puka Nacua playing tonight?
Nacua is active, healthy and in the lineup, but he had just one catch on one target for five yards on the opening series, which was a messy one for Los Angeles thanks to a sack.
Nacua is too good to stay down like this for long. It's just a matter of time before he gets going.
