Something tells me this isnt an injury with Puka, and a Secret Suspension from the Rams. Things seem Off. I cant explain it, just a feeling I have. They are just trying to cover it up with "injuries" They are trying to see if they can win without him, and if they can, gonna let him walk or trade him.

BS came out about how Puka was the problem with his EX
Was in all sort of heat with the Ross thing
Then Apparently Bit someone
No extension
Now " injured" where he apparently has 2 or 3 different injuries.

I honestly think the Rams are tired of him, and Looking to move him out. This seems like the Akers situation all over again.

A secret suspension? For what? He has zero criminal charges pending and has never been arrested.

Why would the NFL even honor something like that?

The Rams are tired of Puka? He’s the NFL’s all-time leading wide receiver in yards per game. He causes zero issues in the building with his fellow Rams players and is a great teammate by all accounts.

Akers was a shit football player so there was never any reason to keep him around, especially if he was defying McVay.

His Off-season issues are enough to get him suspended and Deems the NFL policy of "Damages thier reputation". The NFL does what it wants, with or without Criminal charges filed. There has been countless people suspended without charges filed.

His so called Biting would be Assualt, and Plently of players have been suspended without Charges or anything. just Accusations( Like Puka)

Like I said this is a Weird thing, and all of a sudden, now missing another game probably, with him regressing? Something off with this they Lying about it!

I don't think so. He warmed up before the game Monday night and he's still being paid his game checks. I think suspended in the NFL means you can't play and you won't get paid.

The NFL would announce his suspension. They wouldn't allow it to be a secret.

Why would the Rams do that?

And if the team did suspend him, why would he be on the sideline during the game against the Giants, or working out with the team in warmups?

Nutburger post.
The Rams are tired of the best WR in the NFL ?
Puka is genuinely loved in that locker room. Adams has said that if you have a problem with Puka its a YOU problem.
He is just a young kid doing some of the same shit we all did but everyone can see it.
That bitch ex of his seems like a game playing head case to me. Soul sucking witch .

Some tinfoil hat, chemtrails stuff going on here…
Anyway..
wondering who they could bring in… send a 7 to NY for Odell? Some other option?
 
Rumors flying the BTJ and MHJ could be had via trade, not sure if ya'll would have interest. I would, for the right asking price. BTJ would be a great fit as our 3rd WR as long as he worked on his hands.

If they are using the injury as a cover up. He's not officially suspended. This has happened before in the league. Its called Defacto suspension. Mike Shanahan did this with star players multiple times. They avoid grievance with nfl, are allowed to practice because they are not on IR or officially suspended, and put on the injury lists.

There are very specific and inflexible rules on teams reporting the injured status of thier players.

What you are suggesting is Weird, Bizarre, Ridiculous and Delusional but it's simply NOT POSSIBLE.

Consider yourself on ...

... which IS POSSIBLE.

Difference is, Mike Shannahan did it to players that weren’t facing a possible suspension. See Albert Hanesworth and RG3.

Puka is still not in the clear of an actual suspension from the league, so if that’s what the Rams were doing, they’re now looking at missing time twice, which is stupid and not what they are doing. They also wouldn’t have let him play week 1
 
He didn't practice again today. Looks highly unlikely he will play this week unless he practices in some capacity tomorrow. Would love to see Daniels get a shot but I guess his blocking skills aren't quite there yet.

Unless I see it directly from the NFL and directly from the Rams, I'm not even going to remotely entertain that stuff, aside from this one post. I feel it's nonsense and that it will never happen with this team, especially when McVay is going for wins.

Could Puka be dealt at the deadline? Sure. Unlikely, but sure, that could happen. But let's get into the "why". Would it be because we're "suspending him for the NFL's sake", and deliberately manipulating the injury list - which I'm sure the NFL would certainly frown on and every player on the team would revolt if that came to fruition? Sure, it could be that, but I could also win the next three national lotteries and become the next Queen of England. It's all somewhat unlikely, sure, but I suppose it's possible, and hot damn, would I love to be the Queen.

Ultimately, though? I'm sorry, but what you're saying makes no sense for the NFL, the coaches, the owner, the GM, and certainly not the players.
