Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders after a calf issue kept him out of Friday’s practice, coach Sean McVay said.

What happened

Nacua participated in most of Thursday’s practice but left early and did not return for Friday’s session. McVay described the injury as “a little minor thing in there” and said Nacua will be a game‑time decision on Sunday. The Rams are 2‑4 after consecutive losses and are already without star receiver Davante Adams, who is expected to miss six to ten weeks with a hamstring injury.

What the reports add

The Los Angeles Times noted that linebacker Nate Landman is out with a concussion and cornerback Trent McDuffie is questionable with a groin injury. Veteran linebacker Eric Kendricks, signed to the practice squad weeks ago, will be activated for the Raiders game.

What was said

McVay told reporters, “I don’t think he knows exactly when it occurred… he felt it where he wasn’t able to have some of the power and full explosion… but I don’t think he was aware of any sort of specific play that led to it.”

How it came about

Nacua missed two games earlier in the season with a hip injury that caused abdominal soreness, then posted back‑to‑back 100‑yard receiving games before recording six catches for 80 yards in the Rams’ 18‑16 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. He leads the league in receptions for the 2025 season with 37 catches for 417 yards and a touchdown this year.
