Is Puka Nacua playing today? (Injury update, prop betting impact for Rams vs. Seahawk

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua is listed as questionable for Week 9 with a knee injury he aggravated in practice this week, but the team expects to play Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Nacua missed several games this season with a knee injury he suffered in Week 1, but returned in Week 8 to make seven catches for 106 yards in a win over the Minnesota Vikings.

Even if Nacua is hit, oddsmakers expect him to have a decent game based on his Week 9 prop numbers.

Here’s a breakdown of these props and how I’d be on Puka in week 9.

Odds via DraftKings Sportsbook.

This is a big game for the Rams in the NFC West race, so if Nacua can play, I expect him to suit up in this matchup.

Still, asking him to make six catches or rush for 70 yards might be a bit much if he’s limited by the knee injury.

However, Puka played just 57 percent of the Rams’ snaps in Week 8 and was still targeted nine times, making seven receptions.

I’d back the OVER on his receptions at plus money if I were to bet on a Puka prop, as it looks like the Rams want to give him the ball when he’s on the field.
