Is Puka Nacua playing on 'MNF?' A look at the Rams WR's status against Giants

Nacua did not practice on Friday or Saturday ahead of Monday The Los Angeles Rams are looking for their first win of the year on Monday, after a surprising 27-7 blowout loss against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 1. The Rams face the 1-0 New York Giants on Monday Night Football, and L.A.'s offense may be without its top weapon as it looks to bounce back. Two-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Puka Nacua appeared on Friday's injury report, sitting out the team's second practice of the week with a hip injury. Nacua also did not participate in Saturday's practice and is officially listed as questionable for their Week 2 game.

On Sunday, ESPN reported that Nacua was trending "the wrong way" to play against the Giants and will be a pregame decision. On Monday, Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network reported that "his status is very firmly up in the air." "They wanted to determine his availability later today, but the fact that he didn't practice the last two practices late in the week, I would say doesn't bode great for his availability. But a firm word coming later today," Rapoport said. The inactive reports for all teams come out 90 minutes before kickoff, so around 6:45 p.m. ET (for the 8:15 p.m. ET game), we will all know
