Mandatory Credit: Jayne Kamin-Oncea-USA TODAY Sports All signs are pointing toward Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua being good to go for the team's regular-season opener against the Detroit Lions on Sept. 8.
Nacua has been ruled week-to-week after sustaining a knee injury during Los Angeles' joint practice with the Chargers on Sunday, but Rams coach Sean McVay said it shouldn't affect the 23-year-old's status by the time the meeting in Detroit rolls around.
"Nothing serious, nothing structurally," McVay said. "He'll be in good shape, and he'll recover and we'll be ready to go; no threat of anything for Detroit."
Nacua emerged as a star last season, hauling in 105 receptions for 1,486 yards -- both good for NFL rookie records. He also had six touchdowns.
The Rams have already been plagued by injuries during training camp, as 60 percent of their offensive line is week-to-week.
Before facing the Lions, the Rams will play three preseason games, starting with Sunday's against the visiting Dallas Cowboys.
