WR Puka Nacua and CB Trent McDuffie Are Questionable vs. Raiders as Rams' Injuries Pile Up
Sean McVay said Nacua and McDuffie will be game-time decisions, while the Rams will activate Eric Kendricks after Landman’s concussion.
On Friday, Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay listed receiver Puka Nacua and cornerback Trent McDuffie as questionable for Sunday's game against the Las Vegas Raiders, while inside linebacker Nate Landman was ruled out with a concussion.
The 2-4 Rams are managing a significant injury crisis after placing star receiver Davante Adams on injured reserve for six to 10 weeks, while defensive linemen Kobie Turner and Poona Ford are also sidelined.
McVay revealed Nacua suffered a calf injury Thursday, stating, " felt it where it wasn't able to have some of the power and forward explosion," while veteran linebacker Eric Kendricks will be activated from the practice squad.
With Adams sidelined and Nacua's status uncertain, the Rams' wide receiver corps faces limited depth, potentially relying on reserves Konata Mumpfield, Jordan Whittington, veteran Tutu Atwell, and rookie CJ Daniels if Nacua cannot play.
Some relief may arrive next week, as McVay described the potential return of pass rusher Myles Garrett to practice as a "Possibility" following his knee surgery earlier this season.
