Through six games, Nacua had already established himself as one of the NFL’s most productive receivers. He recorded 54 receptions for 616 yards and two receiving touchdowns, along with 52 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown. PFSN’s WR impact metrics rated him with a score of 96—an A grade—placing him among the league’s most effective receivers prior to his injury hiatus. Despite returning briefly in Week 6, Nacua was unable to make a significant contribution, underscoring how pivotal his full return will be for the Rams’ offense. Restoring Offensive Rhythm The expected return of Nacua, alongside right tackle Rob Havenstein, who has also been sidelined with an ankle injury, could restore stability to an offense already showing signs of momentum. With the Rams tied atop the NFC West and playoff positioning on the line, Week 9 represents a critical opportunity for Los Angeles to realign health and performance. If reintegrated smoothly, Nacua’s return could reignite the Rams’ early-season offensive rhythm, giving Matthew Stafford and the receiving corps a boost just as the team enters a pivotal stretch of its season.
