All-Pro Rams WR Puka Nacua Leaves Practice Early with Calf Injury
Nacua exited practice with a calf injury as the Rams already face a six- to 10-week absence for Davante Adams, officials said.
On Thursday, Los Angeles Rams receiver Puka Nacua left practice early with a calf injury, compounding the team's mounting health crisis during their disappointing 2-4 season.
This setback follows the loss of six-time Pro Bowl receiver Davante Adams, sidelined for six to 10 weeks with a hamstring injury suffered during Sunday's 18-16 defeat to the Arizona Cardinals.
With 37 catches for 417 yards through four games, Nacua has anchored the Rams' offense; the team lacks meaningful depth behind its two star receivers at a critical juncture.
Los Angeles travels to face the Las Vegas Raiders this Sunday with Nacua officially listed as limited on the injury report, leaving his availability uncertain for Week 7.
Defensive depth is further strained as star cornerback Trent McDuffie and key linemen Kobie Turner and Poona Ford remain sidelined with injuries, widening the scope of the team's crisis.
