Rams Make Final Decision on Puka Nacua, Cooper Kupp For Week 18
The Los Angeles Rams will sit star wide receivers Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp for Sunday’s game against the Seattle Seahawks, per NFL insider Stu Jackson.
Sean McVay said Rob Havenstein (shoulder) will be out for Sunday’s game vs. Seahawks.
Rams will sit Puka Nacua, Cooper Kupp, Kyren Williams, Kevin Dotson and Alaric Jackson. (McVay already said Matthew Stafford is resting).

Rams head coach Sean McVay also said Matthew Stafford will rest. The results of Week 17 essentially meant this week’s matchup is inconsequential for both the Rams and Seahawks, except for seeding purposes. A Rams win over the Seahawks would clinch the team the No. 3 seed. Additionally, a Tampa Bay Buccaneers loss or tie versus the New Orleans Saints would also hand the Rams the No. 3 seed.
If the Rams lose and Tampa Bay wins, Los Angeles will be the No. 4 seed. The Rams would then host the loser of the Detroit Lions-Minnesota Vikings matchup on Wild Card weekend.
