Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua leaves practice with calf injury

Summary

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua departed early from Thursday's practice due to a calf injury, raising concerns about his availability for the team's upcoming game against the Las Vegas Raiders on October 22, 2026. Nacua's injury comes shortly after the team placed fellow receiver Davante Adams on injured reserve, further complicating the Rams' receiving corps, which has previously struggled with depth. Nacua has been a standout player this season, averaging 9.3 catches per game, and losing him would significantly impact the team's offensive options. The Rams currently hold a record of 2-4 and are looking to improve their standing in the NFC West.
