The Los Angeles Rams have yet another injury to worry about in Week 7, as wide receiver Puka Nacua exited practice early with an issue on Thursday.
According to Adam Grosbard of the LA Daily News, Nacua came with with a calf injury during practice and was listed as a limited participant on the injury report.
“Rams WR Puka Nacua left practice early with a calf injury. He was limited today,” Grosbard reported.
The limited tag is the usual designation for players who exit practice early with an injury, and this now leaves his status for the Week 7 contest against the Las Vegas Raiders in question.

As of this writing, it isn’t clear what the severity is.
We’ll have more information on Friday, when the Rams release their final injury report that will be complete with player designations.
More Rams injury woes
The Rams have been ravaged by injuries this season, with even Nacua missing a few games.
Wide receiver is in a precarious spot already in Los Angeles, as wideout Davante Adams is expected to miss six to 10 weeks due to a hamstring injury he suffered at the end of the team’s Week 6 loss to the Arizona Cardinals.
If Nacua is forced to sit, the Rams are going to be in big trouble at wide receiver.
The rest of the wide receivers room includes Jordan Whittington, Konata Mumpfield, CJ Daniels, Alex Bachman and Tutu Atwell. Not much to get excited about there.

Many are wondering if the Rams might make a move at wide receiver given the injury to Adams, but head coach Sean McVay has said the team hasn’t talked about making one.
However, ESPN’s Dan Graziano reported that the Rams will “at least explore the possibility of trading for a wide receiver in the wake of Davante Adams’ hamstring injury.”
If Nacua is forced to miss an extended period of time, the Rams, who are clearly all-in on this season, will have added urgency to do something.
