Puka Nacua News
Tuesday, August 25, 11:22 AM
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua (psoas) remained out of team practice Tuesday, according to Nate Atkins. Nacua was doing workouts off to the side, the same setup the Rams had for him Monday. He has now gone two weeks without participating in team drills since leaving the Aug. 11 joint practice with Dallas because of psoas soreness. Sean McVay initially expected Nacua back the following week, then shifted that expectation into this week as the Rams continued to take a cautious approach. Nacua is coming off a massive 2025 season, when he caught an NFL-leading 129 passes for 1,715 yards and 10 touchdowns in 16 games. Nothing from Tuesday's report points to a new setback, but the anticipated return to team work still hasn't happened. With Week 1 getting closer, his practice status remains worth watching.

Travis Hunter News
Friday, August 21, 6:14 AM
Billed as football's answer to Shohei Ohtani when he was selected second overall in the 2025 NFL Draft, Jacksonville Jaguars two-way player Travis Hunter spent the majority of his rookie campaign on the offensive side of the ball before an LCL injury ended his season right when he looked to be on the verge of a breakout. Heading into his second season, the Jaguars' depth chart has dictated that he will spend most of his time on defense, and the team is preparing him to be the number one cornerback. In defensive coordinator Anthony Campanile's zone-based system, Hunter is unlikely to follow the opponents' top receiver across the formation, but after gaining 10-12 pounds of muscle over the offseason, he will be trusted to shut down one side of the field. Hunter projects to see time on offense still, but with a receiver room of Parker Washington, Brian Thomas Jr., and Jakobi Meyers manning the top reps, he will be hard-pressed to find any consistent fantasy value outside of IDP leagues with positional delineations and a cornerback requirement.
