Nacua, Worthy, Jacobs, Ferguson and Waddle Get Hurt in Week 9

Puka Nacua is scheduled for a knee MRI Monday. He hurt his knee on the Rams’ final offensive snap against Washington. Mike Garafolo and Adam Schefter report the team doesn’t believe it’s a torn ACL, but testing is still pending. Hold him and wait for the results before making a trade decision. (NFL.com, ESPN)

Xavier Worthy injures his hamstring. He left late in Kansas City’s win over the Jets and was ruled out. Andy Reid offered no recovery timeline. Worthy caught six passes for 48 yards before leaving. Monitor practice reports before counting on him for Week 10; Rashee Rice and Travis Kelce could get additional opportunities if he sits. (SI, NBC Sports)

Josh Jacobs leaves with a hand injury. His hand caught in a defender’s facemask during the first quarter against New England. Green Bay listed him questionable to return, and he hadn’t returned by halftime. His final status is still pending. With MarShawn Lloyd inactive, Pierre Strong Jr. and Kaleb Johnson are the available alternatives. Wait for the postgame update before deciding on a waiver claim. (NBC Sports, Packers Wire)

Jake Ferguson injures his left knee. He left after a low hit in the third quarter against Indianapolis, finishing with two catches for 21 yards and a touchdown. He was already playing through an ankle injury. Watch Dallas’s updates; Brevyn Spann-Ford is a deep-league contingency if Ferguson misses time. (CBS Sports, National Football Post)

Jaylen Waddle enters concussion protocol. Denver ruled him out after a helmet-to-helmet hit against Carolina. He had one catch for 22 yards. There’s no fixed clearance timeline; hold him and monitor practice reports. (USA Today, Broncos Wire)

The waiver plan comes Tuesday, after Monday’s testing and injury updates.
