Is Puka Nacua playing tonight? Why Rams WR is off to slow start in Week 16

We are once again witnessing Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua cementing himself as an elite player at his position in 2025.

Entering Week 16, Nacua has posted 102 catches for 1,367 yards and six touchdowns. Those numbers put Nacua well on his way to tallying new career-highs in all three categories.

However, Nacua is off to a lackluster start in the Week 16 contest against the Seattle Seahawks. Here's a closer look at what's going on.

Is Puka Nacua playing tonight?

Yes, Nacua is active and healthy, and he did see a target on the opening drive but the pass was off the mark. Nacua didn't have much of a chance to get going otherwise, with Los Angeles going very run-heavy on the opening series.

It's just a matter of time before he gets going, though, as he's crucial to the Rams' offense, especially with Davante Adams out due to injury.
