Nacua exited Sunday's home game against the New Orleans Saints with a rib injury after taking a hard hit from linebacker Demario Davis in the third quarter. Before leaving, the star receiver hauled in seven catches for 95 yards and a touchdown.
The injury occurred on a play that saw Nacua line up on the right side, take a handoff from Matthew Stafford, and run left for a three-yard gain. The play helped set up a touchdown, but forced Nacua out of the game.
"I'm kicking myself about putting him in that spot where he sustained that shot to the ribs," McVay said this week.
Now in his third NFL season, Nacua has recorded 61 receptions for 711 yards and three touchdowns through seven games. He's also contributed four carries for 55 yards and a rushing touchdown.
