Nate Landman ruled out; Puka Nacua + Trent McDuffie questionable for Week 7. Full Injury Report » https://t.co/RzTSCgUH Via @RamsNFL on X

What happened: Nacua did not participate in Friday's practice after picking up a calf injury on Thursday. McDuffie is managing a groin issue that kept him out of Wednesday's session.

Why it matters: Los Angeles enters the weekend on a two-game skid following an 18-16 loss to the Arizona Cardinals on Oct. 18. Nacua's uncertain status further strains a receiving corps already navigating a Davante Adams injury that has the front office weighing trades for Chris Godwin and Brian Thomas Jr. On defense, the absence of the fifth-year linebacker who forced a turnover earlier this month leaves a void in the middle of the unit as the club evaluates Titans linebacker Gray ahead of the trade deadline.

By the numbers: Los Angeles holds a 2-4 record and the No. 14 seed in the conference entering Week 7. In 2025, Nacua — drafted 177th overall in the fifth round out of BYU in 2023 — caught 129 passes for 1,715 yards and 10 touchdowns in 16 games, while Landman posted 132 tackles, 2.5 sacks, and one interception across 17 games per ESPN.

What to watch: Pregame evaluations on Sunday in Las Vegas will determine whether Nacua and McDuffie are cleared to face the Raiders.
