STACKED’s take
Nacua dealing with psoas soreness; McVay expects him ready for practice next week.
Nacua left Tuesday's joint practice with Dallas early due to soreness in his psoas, a deep core muscle that helps with hip movement and stability. Sean McVay offered an encouraging update, expecting Nacua to be 'ready to go' when the Rams return to practice next week ahead of their second preseason game against New Orleans on Aug. 22. The psoas runs from the lower back through the pelvis and attaches near the top of the femur, helping flex the hip and stabilize the lower body—functions especially important for a receiver accelerating, cutting, and maintaining balance through contact. Nacua is considered day-to-day; Los Angeles is discussing his return in terms of days rather than weeks. The bigger priority is the September opener in Melbourne against the 49ers. Nacua has dealt with injuries before, including a PCL sprain that landed him on injured reserve early in the 2024 season.
