Puka Nacua sounded the alarms for the LA Rams during Sunday's matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. The third-year wide receiver, one of the top players in his position this season, had to exit the field at 10:02 in the second quarter after an incomplete pass from Matthew Stafford.

He was helped off the field after the play. NFL insider Adam Schefter reported that Nacua was questionable to return with a foot issue. Running back Blake Corum (ankle) received the same designation.

Before getting hurt, Nacua was targeted three times, catching two passes for 28 yards.

He entered the game as the league's leader in receptions (52), yards (588), which he has translated into two touchdowns. The BYU product is playing at a high level after a 2024 season where he was limited to 11 games due to injuries and losing him would be huge for the Rams.

Nacua didn't return to the game, but that wasn't necessary for the Rams. They took over in the second half, scoring 14 points in the third quarter to secure a 17-3 win over the struggling Ravens.

Running back Kyren Williams rushed the ball 13 times for 50 yards and a touchdown, while catching two passes for 37 yards. Tyler Higbee led the offense with four receptions for 40 yards and one touchdown. Davante Adams contributed 39 yards on four receptions for the Rams.

The Rams will clash against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 7, hoping to beat a team that lost to divisional rivals, the Seattle Seahawks, while the Rams took care of the Ravens.

Sean McVay provides concerning update on Puka Nacua

The LA Rams improved to 4-2 with this win, but the challenge will be harder in Week 7. Puka Nacua suffered an ankle injury against the Ravens, Sean McVay confirmed (via Adam Schefter) and his availability against the Jaguars might be in jeopardy.

"Sean McVay said WR Puka Nacua has ankle injury and he is uncertain if he will be able to play next week against the Jaguars in London."

The Rams will travel to London to face the Jaguars, a team trying to bounce back after coming short against the Seahawks. Nacua's presence will be more necessary against Trevor Lawrence and Co., but fans will have to wait to see how Nacua's injury evolves this week.
