### Rams Activate Puka Nacua for Game Against Vikings

In an important move ahead of Thursday night's face-off with the Minnesota Vikings, the Los Angeles Rams have activated wide receiver Puka Nacua from injured reserve. While the Rams intend for Nacua to play, the extent of his participation will be determined based on pregame warmups, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The decision to activate Nacua comes alongside placing linebacker Troy Reeder on injured reserve due to a hamstring injury. Reeder, a starter at inside linebacker, will be sidelined for at least four games, impacting the Rams' defensive lineup.

Nacua has been out for the past five games following a PCL (posterior cruciate ligament) sprain suffered in Week 1, which aggravated a knee injury he had from training camp. The Rams have felt his absence, along with that of their top receiver Cooper Kupp, who also is expected to return Thursday night after recovering from a sprained ankle.

In his rookie season, Nacua made NFL history by setting records with 105 receptions and 1,486 receiving yards. Before his injury this season, he had caught four passes for 35 yards during the Rams' season opener.
