Nacua is currently dealing with groin soreness, an issue McVay noted is distinct from the psoas injury that hampered his participation during the preseason. While the receiver was able to take part in Thursday’s session, he reportedly struggled to reach full speed, prompting the medical staff to hold him out of subsequent workouts to ensure he does not aggravate the condition.
Injury updates and roster outlook
Addressing the media on Saturday, McVay provided clarity on the decision-making process regarding the receiver's availability. He emphasized that the coaching staff is prioritizing the long-term health of their skill players, noting that a final determination on whether Nacua will suit up for the primetime matchup remains pending. As it stands, he is officially listed as questionable for the contest.
