In 2023, Nacua burst into the scene when Cooper Kupp missed the first four games of the year. Nacua seemed to fit perfectly and had a strong chemistry with Matthew Stafford. Nacua finished his record-setting rookie season totaling 105 receptions and 1,486 yards with six touchdowns.

Nacua’s second season is being put on hold with the PCL injury after he played in all 17 regular season games in 2023. Entering the 2024 campaign, Nacua was sidelined for multiple weeks during training camp after sustaining a knee injury.

With Nacua limited, veteran Tyler Johnson stepped up and tied his career high with five receptions and 79 receiving yards in Week 1. Johnson is expected to have a bigger role now with Nacua expected to miss more time than the expected four games, per Rapoport.

Los Angeles will begin its journey without Nacua on Sunday when the Rams face the Arizona Cardinals.
