Turf Show Times on Puka Nacua

Nacua battling explosiveness loss; surgery possible if recovery stalls; return timeline uncertain.

Puka Nacua, who missed last week's win over the Giants, is battling a loss of top-end explosiveness according to Ian Rapoport. Nacua could return as soon as next week, although surgery is on the table if he doesn't get back to feeling like himself. The source raises a larger question about whether the Rams are managing his injury like a team that wants to re-sign him long-term or as a team that needs him back to maximize the last year on his rookie contract; if LA takes a longer approach to Nacua's recovery, that could provide insight into how they approach his expiring deal.
