Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua suffered a knee injury in Sunday's 20-13 win over the Washington Commanders and will undergo an MRI on Monday, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter and NFL Network's Mike Garafolo.

Nacua sustained the injury on Los Angeles' final offensive snap of the game.

The Rams reportedly don't believe that Nacua tore his ACL.

Nacua finished Sunday's win with a season-high 150 receiving yards on 14 catches. He also caught a touchdown pass.

Losing Nacua would be a significant blow to the Rams, who are already without Davante Adams due to a ruptured hamstring that he suffered in a Week 6 loss against the Arizona Cardinals. Adams was given a return timeline of 6-10 weeks at the time of his injury.

Wide receiver Konata Mumpfield finished second on the team in receiving yards against the Commanders with 20.

Nacua recorded more receptions (14) versus Washington than all of the other Rams players combined (12).

Los Angeles sits 5-4 after winning its third game in a row Sunday.
