Puka Nacua enters the 2026 regular season as the Los Angeles Rams' lead wide receiver in a pass-heavy attack featuring quarterback Matthew Stafford and co-star Davante Adams. His receiving touchdown total will depend heavily on health following an August psoas injury that sidelined him from most preseason work, though he returned to full practice and posted five receptions for 74 yards in Week 1 without finding the end zone. Nacua's physical running style has contributed to prior injury absences, while Adams' red-zone presence and the team's personnel groupings may compress Nacua's scoring opportunities despite his elite route-running and yards-after-catch production. Ongoing NFL review of off-field conduct adds uncertainty around availability, though he remains active and under contract in a final rookie year.
