Even more devastating injury reports for the Rams offense

The Los Angeles Rams have been plagued by injury problems early in the 2024 NFL season, and things got even worse on Monday.

Rams head coach Sean McVay announced that the team has placed star wide receiver Puka Nacua on the injured list due to a PCL sprain in his knee, joining a long list of Rams offensive players currently unable to play.

Offensive tackle Joe Noteboom was carted off to the locker room with an ankle injury during LA’s loss to the Detroit Lions in Week 1.

Left starting guard Steve Avila has suffered a strained medial ligament and could end up on the injured list.

Right guard Kevin Dotson sprained his ankle, received a boot on his left foot after Sunday night’s game and could be out for some time.

Right tackle Rob Havenstein was unavailable for action on Sunday due to an ankle injury.

Meanwhile, rookie offensive lineman KT Leveston is already on the injured list, as is veteran offensive lineman Connor McDermott, while tight end Tyler Higbee is on the PUP list and cannot be activated until Week 5.

To make matters worse, left tackle Alaric Jackson is still suspended for violating the NFL’s code of conduct.

As a reminder, the Rams have only played one game and this is what their injury list looks like on offense.

Nacua is the biggest loss so far. A fifth-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, he made a brilliant impression as a rookie and was selected to the All-Pro second team after catching 105 passes for 1,486 yards and six touchdowns.

With a decimated offensive line and now Nacua on the injured list, the situation is becoming desperate for Sean McVay’s offense.
