Rams Activate Puka Nacua for Vikings Game

The Los Angeles Rams have activated wide receiver Puka Nacua from injured reserve and he is expected to play against the Minnesota Vikings, marking his return after missing five games due to a knee injury. Alongside him, Cooper Kupp is also returning from an ankle injury, both players crucial to revitalizing a struggling Rams offense that currently holds a 2-4 record. Nacua had an impressive rookie season, setting NFL records with 105 receptions and 1,486 yards, while Kupp's absence has been felt as quarterback Matthew Stafford has struggled without his top targets. The Rams' performance in this pivotal matchup could influence trade decisions regarding Kupp and Stafford, amid speculation of a potential rebuild. Meanwhile, the Vikings will be without tight end T.J. Hockenson for this game, as he recovers from injury. The stakes are high for the Rams, as a win could keep their playoff hopes alive.
