Rams' Puka Nacua Sets Rookie Receiving Record Despite Injury

Despite an AC sprain, Nacua's performance propels the Rams into NFC wild card contention.

Puka Nacua, the Los Angeles Rams wide receiver, has set the franchise record for receiving yards by a rookie with 1,029 yards.
Nacua suffered an AC sprain during the Rams' victory over the Cleveland Browns but is expected to play in the upcoming game against the Baltimore Ravens.
Nacua's yardage total is the fourth most through a player's first 12 games since the 1970 merger, trailing Odell Beckham Jr., Justin Jefferson, and Anquan Boldin.

Despite his injury, Nacua returned to the game against the Browns, making significant plays and demonstrating his toughness and commitment to the team.
