Developing: Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua left Thursday’s practice early with a calf injury, according to The Fantasy Footballers, which cited Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register. Multiple other outlets later reported the same practice exit and said Nacua was listed as limited.
The injury comes at a difficult time for the Rams, who already placed Davante Adams on injured reserve earlier this week. As NBC Sports reported, there was no immediate word on the severity of Nacua’s calf issue, and his availability for Sunday’s game at the Las Vegas Raiders remains unclear.
Yahoo Sports reported that Nacua’s Week 7 status is now in question, with Friday’s injury report and comments from head coach Sean McVay expected to provide the next update. The Rams have not yet publicly confirmed how serious the injury is.
Nacua has already missed time this season with earlier injury issues, and his latest setback would be another significant blow to a Los Angeles offense that is already short-handed at receiver. For now, the key unknown is whether the calf injury will keep him out against Las Vegas or simply limit his practice participation later in the week.
Further updates are expected when the Rams release their final injury report and McVay speaks Friday.
