The Los Angeles Rams have suffered a major blow as they prepare to face the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday. The Rams already moved multiple starters to injured reserve this week, and their offense could now face another setback.
Wide receiver Puka Nacua reportedly cut Thursday’s practice short because of a calf issue. He was officially listed as a limited participant, with no further details available about the severity of the injury.
ESPN reporter confirmed and tweeted on X, “Rams WR Puka Nacua left practice today. He will be listed as limited with a calf injury on the injury report.”
Being listed as a limited participant is common for players who leave practice early due to injury, leaving Nacua’s availability for the Rams’ Week 7 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders uncertain.
Rams head coach Sean McVay is scheduled to speak to reporters Friday and could offer further clarity on the star wide receiver’s status.
Nacua previously missed Weeks 2 and 3 because of a hip/groin injury before returning in Week 4. He quickly regained his form, recording consecutive 100-yard performances against the Eagles and Bills.
