Puka Nacua

Nacua led the Rams in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the afternoon, playing through his calf injury without issue while also helping make up for the absence of Davante Adams (IR, hamstring). Nacua rounded out his busy day with his second touchdown catch of the season, which came from 11 yards out with just over four minutes remaining in the second quarter. Nacua figures to be even more involved than usual while Adams is sidelined, and he'll take a 45-485-2 line into a Week 8 home matchup against the Chargers next Sunday.

Nacua's addition to the practice report Thursday due to a calf issue was more cause for concern for a roster riddled with injuries. While Nacua didn't practice Friday and was listed as questionable for Week 7, Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Sunday morning that Rams are optimistic about Nacua's ability to play, and that now has been confirmed. Nacua could have his workload capped somewhat, but he'll be needed to power an air attack without Davante Adams (hamstring) for at least the next four contests. In his four appearances this season, Nacua has put together a 37-417-1 line on 52 targets.

The injury-plagued Rams endured another scare this week when Nacua made an early exit from Thursday's practice due to a calf injury. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported Friday that Nacua's new health concern is believed to be "more minor than anything else" and "not significant," but the wide receiver sat out the team's last Week 7 session and was listed as questionable ahead of the weekend. Nacua likely is poised for a pregame workout before L.A. makes a call on his status about 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.

Rams WR Puka Nacua misses practice, questionable vs. Raiders with calf injury

Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua (calf) will not practice Friday and is questionable to play Sunday against the Raiders, coach Sean McVay said.

Nacua made an early exit from Thursday's practice due to a calf injury and officially went down as a limited participant. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported Friday morning that Nacua's new health concern is "more minor than anything else" and "not significant." Nevertheless, Nacua is set for a pregame workout before the Rams make a decision on his status about 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, per Barshop.

Nacua left Thursday's practice with the calf issue, and tests performed afterward appear to have indicated that the wideout did not sustain a serious injury. The report notes that Nacua's availability for Week 7 remains uncertain, but the Rams will presumably provide an official update on both his short- and long-term status at some point Friday.

Rams WR Puka Nacua leaves practice with calf injury

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua left Thursday's practice with a calf injury, a team spokesperson said.

Nacua already has dealt with psoas soreness (in August) and discomfort in his groin (in September), the latter of which cost him Weeks 2 and 3. With a new health concern in tow, it remains to be seen if he's in any danger of missing Sunday's contest at Las Vegas. Head coach Sean McVay likely will touch on Nacua's new health concern Friday, at which point the wide receiver may be tagged with a Week 7 game designation.

The modest stat line for Nacua may indicate otherwise, but it was a subpar performance aside from the 43-yard connection he made with QB Matthew Stafford just before the two-minute warning in the fourth quarter. As for his five other grabs, Nacua averaged just 7.4 YPC. It was a far cry from the 17-138-1 line on 24 targets that he put up during last Monday's overtime loss to the Bills, but he's still sitting on a healthy 37-417-1 line on 52 targets through his four appearances this season. Nacua and the 2-4 Rams will look to right the ship next Sunday at Las Vegas.

Nacua's jaw-dropping stat line included new career highs in receptions and targets, as well as a team-high figure in receiving yards. The prolific receiver monopolized Matthew Stafford's attention even more than usual, although the one positive for the Bills defense is it did a solid job keeping Nacua from doing much damage after the catch. The third-year pro also recorded his first receiving touchdown of the season on a picturesque two-yard over-the-shoulder catch early in the fourth quarter, and with his production Monday, he nearly made up for his two-game absence earlier in the campaign. Nacua will take a 31-337-1 line on 45 targets into a Week 6 divisional home matchup against the Cardinals on Sunday.

Matthew Stafford says Nacua 'played like Puka' in return for Rams

In Puka Nacua's first game back from a hip injury, Matthew Stafford said he thought the Rams wide receiver looked like himself on the field.

Nacua looked spry in his return from a two-game absence due to a hip injury that was also termed groin soreness. He had just one catch in the first half but scored a two-yard rushing touchdown in the second quarter. The star wide receiver came alive as a pass catcher in the second half as the Rams stormed back from a 10-point deficit with two unanswered fourth-quarter touchdowns. Nacua's injury appears to be in the rearview mirror heading into a Week 5 home game against the Bills.

As expected, Nacua will make his return from a two-game absence due to what was originally labeled a hip issue and then further clarified as groin soreness. Earlier Sunday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Nacua wasn't expected to operate under any type of limitations against Philadelphia. If that holds true, No. 2 receiver Davante Adams, who turned 23 targets into a 15-332-2 line during Nacua's absence, will be in line to see a notable hit to his overall opportunities against a typically stingy Eagles secondary.

Having said that, the Rams will keep an eye on Nacua's conditioning once he steps on the field, something that ultimately could impact his snap count, but they're operating under the assumption that he's good for his typical allotment, when healthy. He missed the last two games due to what was listed by the team as a hip issue but head coach Sean McVay termed "soreness in his groin" unrelated to the psoas discomfort that he tended to in training camp. In his only appearance this season in Week 1 versus the 49ers in Melbourne, Australia, Nacua handled 70 percent of the offensive snaps and reeled in five of nine targets for 74 yards.

Nacua has missed the last two games due to a hip injury, but he's poised to return to action in Week 4 after taking part in all three practice sessions this week. McVay relayed to Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com on Friday that while Nacua "looked sharp" Thursday, the Rams are still honing in on exactly what kind of workload the wide receiver will be able to handle. In any case, fantasy managers can exhale now that Nacua again is available to game-day lineups.

Prior to Thursday's practice, offensive coordinator Nate Scheelhaase told Grosbard that Nacua was expected to be a full participant, and the wide receiver himself told Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com afterward that he was full. The resulting practice report said otherwise, and he thus still has some work to do to potentially avoid a designation ahead of Sunday's game in Philadelphia.

Nacua appears to be getting closer and closer to a return after missing the last two games with groin soreness. He turned in a limited practice Wednesday and is on track to be full-go for Thursday's session. If Nacua is reported as a full participant later Thursday, it'll be another hurdle cleared in advance of his potential return in Week 4.

Nacua thus upheld coach Sean McVay's expectations of the stud wide receiver as the Rams kicked off Week 4 prep. After missing the last two games due to a hip injury that McVay alternatively has called soreness in his groin, Nacua is expected to play in Sunday's game at Philadelphia, as McVay told Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site on Wednesday. How Nacua fares at practice Thursday and Friday likely will determine if he heads into the weekend with a designation.
