Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua (calf) will not practice Friday and is questionable to play Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders, coach Sean McVay said. Nacua took part in the majority of Thursday's practice before leaving with a calf injury. McVay said Friday that there wasn't a specific play when the injury occurred, but Nacua "felt it where he wasn't able to have some of the power and full explosion."
McVay said Nacua will work out on the field before the game to determine whether he will play. The Rams are already without wide receiver Davante Adams for the next six to 10 weeks after he injured his hamstring in Week 6. Nacua also missed the Rams' Week 2 and 3 games with a psoas injury. In four games this season, Nacua has 37 catches for 417 yards and a touchdown.
Besides Nacua and Adams, the Rams have wide receivers Konata Mumpfield, Jordan Whittington, Tutu Atwell, CJ Daniels and Alex Bachman on their roster. The Rams could also be without cornerback Trent McDuffie, who did not play in Week 6 after sustaining a groin injury in practice. McVay said Friday that McDuffie will be listed as questionable for the game.
McVay also ruled out inside linebacker Nate Landman, who is in the concussion protocol.
