LOS ANGELES -- Wide receiver Puka Nacua had 106 yards receiving in his return from a lengthy injury absence in the Los Angeles Rams' 30-20 victory over the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday night.
After missing the Rams' previous five games due to a sprained posterior cruciate ligament suffered in Week 1, Nacua had seven catches while posting the eighth 100-yard game of his short career.
The Rams placed linebacker Troy Reeder (hamstring) on injured reserve in a corresponding move for Nacua. Reeder, a starting inside linebacker, will be sidelined for at least four games.
The Rams had been without their top two receivers since Week 2, but Cooper Kupp made his return Thursday from a sprained ankle and caught a touchdown pass.
Last season, Nacua set NFL records for the most receptions (105) and receiving yards (1,486) by a rookie. He had four catches for 35 yards in the Rams' 2024 season opener before his injury.
