Rams receiver Puka Nacua leaves practice with a calf injury as the team's receiver room thins
Nacua was limited Thursday before leaving with a calf injury. The Rams are already without Davante Adams, Poona Ford, Kobie Turner and kicker Blake Grupe.
The Los Angeles Rams have another injury worry at wide receiver. Puka Nacua left Thursday's practice with a calf injury, a team spokesperson said.
Nacua was listed as a limited participant on the day's injury report. No timeline for his return was given.
The timing is rough for Los Angeles. Davante Adams hurt his hamstring in the Week 6 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Coach Sean McVay said Monday that Adams will miss six to 10 weeks.
Another setback this season
Nacua has already missed time this year. A psoas injury kept him out of the Rams' Week 2 and Week 3 games.
He has been productive when healthy. In four games he has 37 catches for 417 yards and a touchdown.
A long injury list
Nacua is the latest name on a list that keeps growing this week. Nose tackle Poona Ford will miss the rest of the season with a ruptured triceps. Defensive tackle Kobie Turner is expected to miss "a handful of weeks" with a groin injury.
The Rams also lost kicker Blake Grupe to a torn ACL in Week 6.
Who is left at receiver
Beyond Nacua and Adams, the receiver group includes Konata Mumpfield, Jordan Whittington, Tutu Atwell, CJ Daniels and Alex Bachman.
If Nacua has to sit, those players will be asked to carry more of the passing game while the Rams wait to get their top two targets back.
