LOS ANGELES -- Wide receiver Puka Nacua missed practice Thursday with soreness in his psoas (groin), but Los Angeles Rams coach Sean McVay said he expects the wide receiver to be back at practice next week.
Nacua left the Rams' joint practice against the Dallas Cowboys on Tuesday with the injury. On Thursday, he worked off to the side with a member of the Rams' training staff.
"Puka's doing good," McVay said. "He just had a little soreness in his kind of psoas. So we're just being smart with him. Expect him to be back next week ready to go."
Rams defensive end Myles Garrett also worked off to the side during practice as he deals with soreness in his knee. McVay said Garrett is "feeling good."
"I think it's more along the lines of getting to know him, and once he gets back to that kind of return to performance," McVay said. "But making really good, positive strides. As far as when he'll be back, we want to make sure that that's when it's truly 100%."
On Tuesday, McVay said that Garrett told him he's feeling "about 85%" healthy. McVay has previously said the goal is for Garrett to be "ready to be able to peak when we start in Australia [in Week 1]."
