Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua is likely to go on injured reserve due to an MCL/PCL sprain and turf toe, head coach Sean McVay said Monday, according to ESPN's Sarah Barshop.

Nacua sustained the knee injury late in the Rams' win over the Washington Commanders on Sunday.

The 25-year-old leads Los Angeles with 70 catches for 715 yards. With Nacua sidelined, McVay said the Rams will "explore all avenues" at the wide receiver position ahead of the NFL's trade deadline, according to LA Daily News' Adam Grosbard.
