Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua suffered a foot injury during the second quarter of his team's game against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday (October 12).
Nacua, 24, who entered Week 6 as the NFL's leader in receptions and receiving yards, was listed as questionable in an update shared by the Rams on their X account, along with running back Blake Corum, who suffered an ankle injury.
"Rams Injury Updates: WR Puka Nacua (foot) questionable to return; RB Blake Corum (ankle) questionable to return," the Rams wrote.
Nacua appeared to be injured during a broken up pass in the end zone, having attempted to walk off gingerly before going back down onto the field and grabbing his lower left leg. The former All-Pro receiver was helped off the field and taken into the locker room.
Nacua was selected by the Rams at No. 177 overall in the fifth-round of the 2023 NFL Draft and immediately exceeded expectations, setting the NFL record for receiving yards (1,486) in a rookie season and receptions (15) by a rookie in a game. The former BYU standout was selected as a Second-team All-Pro and Pro Bowler during his first NFL season.
Nacua recorded 79 receptions for 990 yards and three touchdowns, having dealt with knee injuries in training camp and early into an injury-shortened 2024 season.
