BALTIMORE -- Rams' Puka Nacua suffered an ankle injury in Los Angeles' 17-3 win against the Ravens, coach Sean McVay said after the game, adding that he is uncertain if the star wide receiver will be able to play next week in London against the Jaguars.
Nacua injured his foot when going up to attempt a catch against cornerback Marlon Humphrey in the end zone during the second quarter. He was questionable to return to the game and did eventually return. The 24-year-old ended the game with two receptions for 28 yards.
Nacua was in clear pain at the time of the injury, got up and slowly walked a few steps and then went to the ground again. After trainers appeared to tend to his lower leg (ankle/foot) area, he walked off the field very slowly with the team's training staff and went down the tunnel.

Nacua entered Week 6 leading the NFL in receptions (52) and receiving yards (588), with the 52 receptions representing the most ever in the first five games of a season.
A 2023 fifth-round pick out of BYU, Nacua exploded onto the scene as a rookie, reeling in 105 catches for 1,486 yards and six touchdowns in his first year. He had 79 catches for 990 yards and three touchdowns in an injury-impacted 2024 before coming out of the gates hot again in 2025.
Matthew Stafford entered Week 6 leading the NFL in passing yards, with Nacua and Davante Adams wreaking havoc on opposing secondaries.
