The Los Angeles Rams found a true gem in Puka Nacua.
With Cooper Kupp out with a hamstring injury — and on the heels of a previous ankle injury — the rookie wideout dominated right out of the gate as Matthew Stafford’s favorite target.
Nacua continued to be a big factor in the passing game even when Kupp came back after missing the first four games of the season.
Now, it seems like Kupp has finally put his injury woes behind him, with Nacua claiming that he’s fully healthy this offseason (via ProFootballTalk):
“I’ve been training with Coop so it’s been good. He’s on a revenge tour. He’s been able to get a healthy offseason and stuff so he’s back at it,” Nacua said on Maxx Crosby’s podcast.

Needless to say, that’s terrible news for the rest of the league.
When healthy, Stafford has proven to be one of the most dominant and explosive passers in the game, and he’s been partly responsible for two of the greatest wide receiver seasons in NFL history — three if you add Nacua’s rookie campaign.
A one-two punch of Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp, with Stafford slinging the pigskin down the field, should help the Rams have one of the most proficient passing games in the league, especially with an innovative mind like Sean McVay’s leading the way.
So, even if he’s not going to win another Triple Crown, Kupp could be on a bit of a revenge tour to prove that he’s still got plenty left in the tank.
