Puka Nacua dealing with deep core muscle tightness

Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua missed practice on Thursday after leaving the joint practice with the Cowboys two days ago with an injury.

Sean McVay revealed that Nacua has psoas soreness, Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times reports. The psoas is a deep core muscle that is a primary hip flexor.

Nacua is expected back to practice next week, McVay added.

Pass rusher Myles Garrett also spent Thursday working off to the side with the Rams’ training staff. It was the seventh practice Garrett has missed with knee soreness.

The Rams remain confident that Garrett’s absence won’t linger.

McVay called Garrett’s knee at 85 percent on Tuesday.
