00:00We'll be right back with more coverage.

00:03Yesterday, Dr. Chow, the Rams offense was looking good early.

00:06Both Cooper Cup and Pukanukuwa involved.

00:09He had four grabs in the first half for just over 30 yards,

00:12was injured, came back in briefly,

00:15and then had to be carted off in Sunday night football in Detroit.

00:19What do you think Pukanukuwa's status is moving forward for LA?

00:24Well, you know, people make a lot out of the carted off.

00:27It does seem like it carted off of convenience rather than necessity, right?

00:31It wasn't like an air cast.

00:33But here's the thing, we've been saying all preseason.

00:35We haven't talked to you guys, Ben and Donnie, in a little bit,

00:38but all preseason, including our preseason injury preview at SIC score,

00:43we were pessimistic on Pukanukuwa's injury to the same right knee

00:48of that being a nothing, just a bursa, and that's it, as per Sean McVay.

00:55We felt there could be a small PCL component.

00:58This is the same right knee without a lot of video,

01:01and this is why we were saying under futures on Puka for the season

01:06because that PCL can linger.

01:08We have no reports right now, and whatever Sean McVay says later on today,

01:14and the Rams say, sure, we'll follow along, but we all know about Coach B.

01:18We're still worried about Puka that this is related to the preseason right knee injury.
