What happened: Puka Nacua is listed questionable for Sunday's Week 7 game at Las Vegas after a calf injury kept him out of practice Friday. This is the same Nacua set to work out pregame after the calf limited his burst in practice. The Rams lost 18-16 to Arizona last week, and the 3-3 Raiders have dropped three straight, most recently 33-30 to Buffalo.

Why it matters: Nacua caught 129 passes for 1,715 yards and 10 touchdowns in 16 games in 2025. That puts him in any conversation about the league's best receivers. The Rams drafted him in the fifth round, 177th overall, and he is now the center of their passing game, so at 14th in the conference seeding they have little room to absorb games without him.
