Rams WR Puka Nacua questionable for Raiders game, set for pregame calf test
Nacua will test his calf before Sunday’s game after stopping practice; two other Rams defenders also have game-status decisions
Los Angeles Rams receiver Puka Nacua will work out before Sunday’s game at the Las Vegas Raiders after a calf issue stopped him in practice.
Nacua and cornerback Trent McDuffie, who is dealing with a groin injury, were both listed as questionable and did not practice Friday, according to Rams reporter Stu Jackson. Linebacker Nate Landman was ruled out with a concussion. Those designations give Los Angeles separate availability questions on both sides of the ball.

Stu Jackson (@StuJRams): Sean McVay said Puka Nacua (calf) and Trent McDuffie (groin) will not practice today and will be listed as questionable for Sunday’s game at Raiders. Nate Landman (concussion) will be out.
Nacua left Thursday’s practice early and was listed as limited. Sean McVay said the receiver did not feel he had full power and explosion in his calf, which is why he stopped the session. The pregame workout is the next known step before a decision on whether he plays.
The receiving corps already lost Davante Adams to injured reserve with a hamstring injury earlier this week. Landman’s absence adds to a defense that has also placed linemen Poona Ford and Kobie Turner on injured reserve. McDuffie’s questionable designation leaves another part of that unit unsettled for the Raiders game.
