Puka Nacua Questionable for Week 7 After Calf Issue

His game-day availability will determine how the Rams attack with Davante Adams already ruled out.

Overview

  • The Rams listed Puka Nacua as questionable after he was a full participant on Wednesday, limited on Thursday with a calf issue, and a nonparticipant on Friday.
  • NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport called the calf more minor than it first appeared and ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported the team is optimistic Nacua will play.
  • FantasyPros’ injury model gives Nacua about a 60% chance to be active, reflecting a split between optimistic reporting and the week’s practice setbacks.
  • Davante Adams is officially out for Week 7, so Nacua’s status will decide whether the Rams center their game plan on him or shift targets to tight ends and other receivers.
  • Nacua has 37 catches for 417 yards in four games this season and has missed two earlier games with a hip/groin issue, so managers and the team remain cautious about limiting his snaps even if he suits up.
