Top 10 Biggest Fantasy Football Injuries: Preseason Week 1

All right, so we'll get right into it, guys.

Let's talk about Puka Nakua, who is arguably the

best

receiver out there.

He is probably...

Well, either him or Chase are probably going to be the first receiver off the board.

But he left practice on August 11th with some groin soreness.

They're calling it a minor groin psoas strain.

So that's like when you think about the groin and the hip flexor, which is your psoas, that's going to be involved in all the cutting and quick kind of lateral movements there.

When they say so as the only thing that concerns me, I still think it's minor and they're going to probably give some time.

But the only thing that concerns me is when you start getting into the groin and into your hip flexor, that's when you get worried about things such as sports hernia or any of those type of words just because of where the injury is.

Right.

So a lot of times sports hernia mimic a lot of groin injuries because you get pain right in the groin area and you also kind of get it in the hip flexor area.

Um, so I, I think we haven't heard a definitive answer on it yet, but he's day to day and kind of hasn't really gone back to practices yet.

Obviously, like you said, Sean McVay is not going to play his starters in the preseason.

So he will not see any action at all.

Uh, but what are your thoughts on Puka and kind of his injury there?

Yeah, I guess that like you, you always talk about those soft tissue injuries and those, those could always be problematic.

And could lead to other injuries.

And so I think it just, it's hard to, to take it for what it's worth with the Rams.

Right.

I just talked about how they didn't, they don't play folks in the, in the preseason.

You know, I think about with Matt Stafford, you know, Matthew Stafford, remember all of last training camp, he had like the back injury.

issue and it was talked about like wow is this guy going to be kind of ready to play and you know like it's just obviously he played like i think every game and he was fine obviously completely different person and injury but i think it's something to kind of monitor obviously but just also take uh like take a look at who we're dealing with right with the rams and kind of being close to the chest with things and i think it's also like hey a reason to not like play in this environment where maybe it can get worse.

Right.
