With Cooper Kupp sidelined by a hamstring injury, Puka Nacua is picking up the slack for the Los Angeles Rams. So far, so record-breaking good.
CALIFORNIA — With Cooper Kupp sidelined by a hamstring injury, Puka Nacua is picking up the slack for the Los Angeles Rams.Nacua, a fifth-round pick out of BYU, set the NFL single-game record for most receptions by a rookie with 15 catches for 147 yards in Sunday's 30-23 loss to the San Francisco 49ers.
The reception surpassed the former mark of 14 held by Washington’s Roy Helu, the New York Giants’ Saquon Barkley and Pittsburgh’s Najee Harris. Nacua was questionable going into Sunday's game after he missed practice on Thursday due to rib and oblique injuries on his right side. Despite being less than 100 percent, he was targeted 20 times and averaged 9.8 yards per catch.
Nacua's 25 receptions are also an overall league mark for a rookie in his first two games. The previous mark was 19 by San Francisco's Earl Cooper in 1980.
