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, adding, “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.

“It’s going to be what’s good for Puka and for our football team,” McVay said, “and I know he’s going to do everything in his power to try to be ready to go for this week, and we have to have a plan for him and if he’s not able to go.”

The Rams are staying in Baltimore and will practice at Oriole Park at Camden Yards before they depart for London on Friday.

Nacua caught two passes for 28 yards in the Rams’ 17-3 victory over the Ravens before he was injured in the second quarter.

Nacua and Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey leaped for a pass thrown by Matthew Stafford into the end zone, and both came down hard on the turf. Nacua got up, took a few steps and then went to the ground again where was attended to by team trainers. He was assisted to the locker room, evaluated, and then he returned to the sideline. Nacua played in the second half but was not targeted.

Nacua still leads the league with 54 catches. His 616 yards receiving ranks second behind Seattle’s Jaxon Smith-Njigba’s 696.

Nacua has caught 10 or more passes in three games this season and has amassed more than 100 yards receiving twice, including a 13-catch, 170-yard performance against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 3.

Second-year pro Jordan Whittington started in place of Nacua, and he caught three passes for 23 yards.

Receiver Tutu Atwell did not play against the Ravens because of a hamstring injury but McVay said he “should be good” to play against the Jaguars.

The Pittsburgh Steelers won in convincing fashion in Week 6, but the vibes weren't all positive after the contest. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers ripped the team's field following its 23-9 victory over the Cleveland Browns, calling it "borderline unplayable," per TribLive.com.

While the state of the field didn't seem to impact Rodgers statistically — he completed 21 of 30 passes for 235 yards and two touchdowns in the win — it may have affected two other big moments for the Steelers. 

The first of which occurred in the second quarter of the contest, when Steelers special teams ace Miles Killebrew sustained a "significant knee injury." It was a non-contact injury for Killebrew, and there was no particular evidence the field played a role in the injury. But the two were connected after the game due to Rodgers' comments.

The more obvious instance of the field affecting the game came in the fourth quarter, when usually-reliable kicker Chris Boswell missed a 54-yard field goal after slipping on the grass. 

As Boswell's front foot hit the grass, it slid, causing Boswell's kick to miss its target. And causing the kicker to fall to the ground.

Given how it looked, Boswell was lucky to escape the play without sustaining an injury. 

The Steeler's ground crew seemed to realize the field was in less-than-stellar condition. After the contest, workers were spotted re-sodding Acrisure Stadium.

The Steelers share the field with the Pittsburgh Panthers, though the team was on the road Saturday.

It will be a few weeks before either team takes the field again. Both Pitt and the Steelers are on the road next weekend. The next time either team plays at Acrisure will occur on Saturday, Oct. 25, when Pitt plays the North Carolina State Wolfpack. 

The following day, the Steelers will play at home against the Green Bay Packers.
