Report: Rams do not intend to limit Puka Nacua vs. Eagles

The Los Angeles Rams do not intend to limit wide receiver Puka Nacua’s workload today against the Philadelphia Eagles, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, who cited sources Sunday, October 4. The report addresses Nacua’s planned usage for the Rams’ matchup with Philadelphia; it does not specify a snap count, target total or other workload measure.

Nacua has played one game in the 2026–27 season, recording five receptions on nine targets for 74 receiving yards. He also has one total tackle, including one solo tackle. His five catches and 74 yards provide the Rams’ available receiving production from his one appearance, while his nine targets show the volume of opportunities he has received in that game.

Los Angeles enters the game with a 1-2 record. The Rams rank 15th of 32 teams in offensive EPA and 11th of 32 in defensive EPA. EPA is a play-based measure used to track how much a team’s offense or defense changes expected points; the rankings place the Rams’ defense ahead of their offense in the available team data.

Philadelphia is 2-1 entering the matchup. The Eagles rank 23rd of 32 teams in offensive EPA and 17th of 32 in defensive EPA. The report says the Rams do not intend to limit Nacua’s workload against an Eagles team whose defense is ranked 17th in EPA, while Los Angeles brings the 15th-ranked offense and 11th-ranked defense into the game.
