NFL Sunday just turned into a medical ward. Six stars, six brutal injury updates β€” and fantasy managers are refreshing their apps in a panic.

🚨 Puka Nacua "trending the wrong way" for Monday Night Football

The big one. Rams star wideout Puka Nacua is questionable for Monday Night Football against the Giants after missing Saturday's practice β€” his second straight missed day β€” with what coach Sean McVay called "a little bit of soreness" in his groin.

🦡 Chris Jones questionable for Sunday Night Football (calf)
