The biggest issue here is timing. A Monday-night status question can create lineup problems if fantasy managers do not prepare a contingency plan in advance.

Do not bench Puka yet, but be ready with a Monday-night alternative. Saturday practice and the next official update are the key checkpoints.

Puka Nacua was added to the Rams’ Friday injury report with a hip issue and did not practice. Because Los Angeles plays Monday night, this remains a developing situation with another key update still ahead.
