Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua exits practice with calf injury

Summary

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua left today’s practice early due to a calf injury, adding to recent roster concerns.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua left practice early after developing a calf injury, the team said. The injury follows the recent placement of teammate Davante Adams on injured reserve two days earlier. Nacua has already missed two games this season because of a hip and groin issue. Together, Adams and Nacua have accounted for 67 receptions this year, while the rest of the Rams' receiving corps has combined for 13 catches. Last season, Nacua led the league with 129 receptions and is currently averaging a career-high 9.3 catches per game. The Rams, who are 2-4, host the Las Vegas team on Sunday as 3.5-point favorites.

"We’ll assess Puka’s status and provide an update as soon as we have more information," a team spokesperson said.
