Rams HC Sean McVay told reporters that the team will not place Puka Nacua on injured reserve due to roster mechanics, but that the WR still will be out for a “significant period of time.”
There’s early interest in the left-handed relief market at the GM Meetings.
Sources say the Mariners, Phillies, Nationals, Royals, and Cardinals are among the teams engaged.

I was told part of Downs' appeal to KC is his ability to return punts. Don't be surprised if he sees some action in that regard.
With the Colts, Downs returned 32 punts in his career, including two this season
#Colts CB Charvarius "Mooney" Ward Sr. on the trade deadline:
"If you're a good player and you feel like you got a little value ... teams might be interested in you. If a team needs a corner, I don't know if they're gonna look for Mooney. Mooney making $20 million a year."
The #Chiefs converted $6.76M of LB Nick Bolton's salary into signing bonus, creating $3.3M of 2026 cap space.
Updated Cap Hits (dead)
2026: $15.8M ($23.5M)
2027: $22.6M ($7.6M)
Teams restructuring contracts yesterday to facilitate trades and/or create space for the rest of the season:
Bills: $5.3M via LT Dion Dawkins
Broncos: $3.9M via S Talanoa Hufanga
Chiefs: $3.4M via LB Nick Bolton
Rams: $3M via RB Kyren Williams and S Kam Curl
Huge boost for KC.
Huge boost for Downs.
Outside of a few uncharacteristic drops, he’s been perfectly good on tape and has stacked some nice explosive wins on intermediate routes.
Best route runner and man coverage beater they’ve had in years.
Josh Downs to Kansas City.
My #1 fit on the board. Said it on 89 before the deadline 👇
Mahomes just got a route runner who wins clean and decisive. Book it.
