The central question for Sunday in Las Vegas is who will be available for the Rams against the Raiders, and the Week 7 final injury report answers it with two question marks and one confirmed absence.

Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua is listed as questionable with a calf injury. Head coach Sean McVay said Nacua left Thursday’s practice early after participating in a majority of it, and McVay characterized the injury as minor.

Cornerback Trent McDuffie is also questionable, with a groin issue. The team reported that McDuffie did not practice all week.

Inside linebacker Nate Landman has been ruled out with a concussion. McVay said Landman is making good progress, and Los Angeles will elevate inside linebacker Eric Kendricks from the practice squad for the matchup.

Why It Matters

Nacua’s status is a major personnel swing for Los Angeles’ passing game, given his role as a primary target.
McDuffie being limited could affect Los Angeles’ matchups in the secondary if he cannot go.
Landman’s absence removes a starting-caliber inside linebacker from the Rams’ defensive structure, and elevating Kendricks changes the rotation.
On the other side, the Raiders’ ruled-out options include their tight end and top receiver listed in the injury report, which can reshape matchups and target distribution.
