The Rams are expected to put WR Puka Nacua on IR after he got hurt on the final play of Sunday's win over the Commanders, according to multiple reports. Nacua sprained the MCL and PCL in his right knee and sustained a turf toe injury to his right foot. Landing on IR would cost Nacua at least four games, with a Week 11 bye extending his absence. That would make Week 15 his earliest possible return date. We'll watch for updates on his progress in the meantime.

Puka Nacua turned 19 targets into 14 receptions for 150 yards and a TD in the Rams win over the Commanders. His 35.0 PPR points lead all WRs in Week 9 pending Sunday- and Monday Night Football. If that result holds, it would be the second time this season Nacua finished a week as the WR1.

Rams WR Puka Nacua suffered a knee injury on the final offensive snap of today's win over the Commanders, NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reports. The team does not believe Nacua tore an ACL, but he's scheduled for an MRI on Monday. We'll be holding our breath waiting on the results. Nacua accounted for a whopping 66% of the Rams' receiving yards today, posting a huge 14-150-1 line.

Rams WR Puka Nacua (calf) is active for today’s game vs. the Raiders. He hurt his calf on Thursday and didn’t practice on Friday. But there was optimism on Nacua’s status this morning, and he evidently felt and looked good enough in pre-game warmups. There’s still re-injury risk here, but get Nacua in starting lineups if you were waiting on him.

The Rams are "optimistic" that WR Puka Nacua (calf) will play vs. the Raiders this afternoon, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. "Nacua was feeling better Saturday and, as one source said, 'as long as there aren’t any setbacks, we feel good about him being available to play,'" Schefter adds. Nacua injured his calf in Thursday's practice and was sidelined on Friday. He'll obviously carry elevated risk if he does suit up today, but he'd be very tough to leave out of fantasy lineups. We won't get the Rams' inactives until a little before 3 pm ET, so fantasy managers hoping to start Nacua should still have a late-game alternative lined up.

Rams WR Puka Nacua (calf) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Raiders. He hurt his calf on Thursday and then didn’t practice on Friday. The calf injury is “minor,” according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, but Nacua will be a game-time decision for Week 7, HC Sean McVay said. That could leave fantasy managers in a tough spot with this game kicking off at 4:25 pm ET. We’ll see if we get an update on Nacua on Sunday morning.

Tests on Rams WR Puka Nacua's calf revealed a minor injury, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Rapoport adds, though, that Nacua's availability for Sunday's game vs. the Raiders remains uncertain. We'll see if he's able to practice this afternoon and then how he's listed on the final injury report. It at least sounds like Nacua dodged any injury that would cost him significant time.

Rams WR Puka Nacua was limited in Thursday's practice with a new calf injury. ESPN's Sarah Barshop confirms that Nacua suffered the injury today, putting him in danger of missing this weekend's game vs. the Raiders. We'll look for further updates and see how Nacua is listed on Friday's final injury report. With WR Davante Adams out with his hamstring injury, Nacua's absence would leave the Rams with WRs Konata Mumpfield, Jordan Whittington, and Tutu Atwell atop the depth chart -- and likely push more targets to the TEs and RBs.
