Star receiver Puka Nacua sustained an ankle sprain in the Rams victory over the Baltimore Ravens, and his status for Sunday’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London is uncertain, coach Sean McVay said Monday.

McVay said the Rams ‘were encouraged by the scan results.

“Whether that means he’s able to play like the guy we're accustomed to seeing on Sunday will be a weekly process for us,” McVay said during a videoconference with reporters. “There is nothing on the scan that looks like it’s going to be long-term. The uncertainty of this week is a real thing.”

After the Rams play the Jaguars, they have a week off before playing the New Orleans Saints on Nov. 2 at SoFi Stadium. But McVay said the off week “has nothing to do” with how they will handle Nacua’s situation.
