Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua is dealing with hip tightness, but Head Coach Sean McVay does not anticipate it will impact Nacua's ability to play in Sunday's upcoming game against the New York Giants. McVay also mentioned that linebacker Ernest Jones IV, who is currently ill, and defensive back Tre Tomlinson, suffering from a hamstring injury, will not practice Friday and Tomlinson will be out for the game. Despite this, McVay expects both Nacua and Jones IV to be ready for Sunday's match. The final injury report for the Rams/Giants game lists players such as Noteboom, Nacua, Jones IV, and Jackson as 'questionable' due to limited participation or absence from Friday's practice, yet they are all expected to play. McVay, who has a 90% reliability rating on injury updates, remains optimistic about the players' status.
