From the episode
They did refer to it as a pre-hernia on the broadcast... He ran around on 90.7% of their dropbacks... He played 76 snaps in the game out of 84... I would be pained if I saw someone sell Puka because of this FUD.
STACKED’s take
Negative signalInjury
Pre-hernia risk elevated but Rams' full usage suggests short-term hold over panic sell.
Rams reported a pre-hernia on Puka in week four, elevating injury risk above his already-high baseline; however, he ran 90.7% of dropbacks and played 76 of 84 snaps, suggesting the team is not concerned about long-term availability. Adam Levitan notes the Rams are in an all-in season with Aaron Donald and Stafford, making shutdown unlikely unless things go 'really, really south.' Short-term role remains insane despite elevated injury risk; the decision to hold or sell depends on roster record and ceiling-maximization preference rather than the pre-hernia itself.
