Puka Nacua Inactive for MNF vs Giants

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua is inactive for Monday Night Football against the New York Giants at SoFi Stadium because of a hip injury, ESPN's Sarah Barshop reported from Inglewood. Nacua landed on the injury report Friday, missed Saturday practice with what Sean McVay called groin soreness, and never got cleared for warmups. McVay said the issue is separate from the psoas injury that cost Nacua time in training camp.
Nacua led the Rams with five catches for 74 yards on nine targets in the season opener. Without him, Davante Adams stays the clear WR1, with Konata Mumpfield, Xavier Smith, and Tutu Atwell next. Jordan Whittington (quad) and Kamren Kinchens (hamstring) are also inactive. Soft fantasy note only: bank the inactive stamp. Do not invent a target map from one depth chart.
