What happened: Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua suffered a calf injury believed to be minor during Thursday's practice, per Good Morning Football. Meanwhile, the Indianapolis Colts face an upcoming decision regarding running back Jonathan Taylor.

Why it matters: The latest setback for Nacua follows an August psoas issue and tests a Los Angeles passing attack already exploring wide receiver trade options. In Indianapolis, Taylor remains under contract via an extension, though multiple clubs have expressed trade interest ahead of the Nov. 10 deadline.

By the numbers: Both the Rams (No. 14 seed) and Colts (No. 12 seed) stand at 2-4 on two-game losing streaks after Oct. 18 defeats, with Los Angeles falling 18-16 and Indianapolis dropping a 26-20 contest.

What to watch: Los Angeles will evaluate Nacua's Friday practice participation before issuing final game designations for the weekend. Indianapolis must determine Taylor's immediate status while weighing any formal trade offers before Nov. 10.
