Nacua Calf Injury Adds to Rams' Woes
23 Oct
Summary
- Puka Nacua suffered a calf injury during practice.
- He joins Davante Adams on the injured list.
- Rams face injury concerns amid Super Bowl aspirations.
The Los Angeles Rams are grappling with another significant injury as All-Pro receiver Puka Nacua exited practice early with a calf issue on Thursday, October 23, 2026. This incident exacerbates the team's injury woes, particularly following the recent six-to-ten week hamstring injury sustained by six-time Pro Bowl receiver Davante Adams.
Nacua has been a pivotal player for the Rams this season, accumulating 37 catches for 417 yards and a touchdown in just four games. His current injury adds pressure to a receiving corps that is already thin. The Rams, who started the season with aspirations of a Super Bowl, have seen their performance impacted by a series of injuries to key players.
Beyond Nacua and Adams, the Rams have faced numerous setbacks. Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett has been on injured reserve since his debut, while cornerback Trent McDuffie and defensive linemen Kobie Turner and Poona Ford are also currently sidelined with injuries. These challenges have contributed to the team's 2-4 record.
