Summarised from 2 outlets · 3 reports · Updated 22 Oct, 23:57 · Archive

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua left Thursday's practice with a calf injury, adding to mounting injury problems for a team with a 2-4 record.

Puka Nacua, the Los Angeles Rams' most important offensive player, left Thursday's practice early with a calf injury, with his availability for Sunday's game against the Las Vegas Raiders uncertain. Head coach Sean McVay is expected to provide an update on Friday.

Nacua has been the Rams' leading receiver this season with 37 catches and 417 receiving yards. The injury is a new ailment for the third-year player, who has already missed games earlier in the season with lower back, groin and hip injuries.

The Rams are facing a mounting injury crisis as they attempt to recover from a 2-4 start. Davante Adams, another key receiver, was placed on the injury reserve list following Sunday's 18-16 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. The team is also managing the absence of left tackle Alaric Jackson and wide receiver Puka Nacua under ongoing NFL reviews for off-field incidents, with no timeline set for decisions in either matter.
