The Los Angeles Rams are witnessing yet another elite season from wide receiver Puka Nacua.
Entering Week 17, Nacua has tallied 1,559 receiving yards and eight touchdowns, with the former ranking as the second-most in the NFL this season.
However, Nacua has been quiet early on in the Week 17 game against the Atlanta Falcons. Here's a closer look at what's going on.
Is Puka Nacua playing tonight?
UPDATE: Nacua enters the half with just two catches for 18 yards in what has been an awful night for the Rams' offense through two quarters.
Nacua almost had a big play down the field in the second quarter, but it was negated due to a penalty on the Rams.
The good news is, a three-touchdown deficit is a great game script for Nacua, so hopefully he can turn things around the rest of the way.
END OF UPDATE
UPDATE: Nacua recorded his first catch of the night on the Rams' second drive. The reception gained 10 yards. Let's hope that's a sign of things to come.
Yes, Nacua is active and healthy, he just hasn't gotten going yet.
Nacua didn't get an opportunity on the first drive, as the Rams went three-and-out.
It shouldn't be long before Nacua gets going, though, especially with fellow wide receiver Davante Adams ruled out.
