Puka Nacua Injured at Practice, Latest Updates on Rams WR with Davante Adams on IR

The Los Angeles Rams are already besieged by injuries. They received more bad news in that regard on Thursday.

Superstar wideout Puka Nacua left the team's practice with a calf injury, per ESPN's Sarah Barshop, and will be listed as a limited participant. That calls into question his availability for Sunday's matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders.

The team's injury report is staggering.

Cornerback Trent McDuffie and linebacker Nate Landman are both questionable and didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday. Defensive lineman Myles Garrett, Poona Ford and Kobie Turner, wideout Davante Adams and tight end Terrance Ferguson are all on injured reserve. Kicker Blake Grupe is out for the season with a torn ACL.

Adding Nacua to the mix would be an awful development for a Rams team that came into the season with Super Bowl aspirations but has instead started 2-4 and risks falling out of the playoff picture altogether if it can't start stringing some wins together.

Health has been a concern for the young wideout in his career:

The 25-year-old already missed two games this season but has been fantastic when healthy, catching 37 passes on 52 targets for 417 yards and a touchdown. He's also rushed for a touchdown.

That Nacua leads the team in receptions and targets despite missing two games is an excellent reminder of how incredibly valuable he is to quarterback Matt Stafford and the team's offense. Being without him against a scrappy Raiders team that's seeking to end a three-game losing streak would leave Los Angeles in fairly dire straits on both sides of the ball.
