The Los Angeles Rams listed Puka Nacua as questionable to play against the Las Vegas Raiders this week after he injured his calf in practice on Thursday. He was forced to exit practice early and did not participate on Friday, leading to a lot of speculation about whether he'll play in Sunday's game.

Adam Schefter of ESPN reports the Rams are "optimistic" that Nacua will suit up and play today. Schefter noted that one source said, "as long as there aren't any setbacks, we feel good about him being available to play."

That's great news for the Rams, who are already without Davante Adams and Terrance Ferguson on offense. Nacua missed two games earlier this season due to a hip/groin injury, so the hope is that he won't have to miss a third game in seven weeks.

Ian Rapoport of NFL Network added that Nacua will "work out today, but the hope is he is on the field."

In just four games this season, Nacua has caught 37 passes for 417 yards and one touchdown. He also has a rushing touchdown.

He led the NFL in receptions and receiving yards per game a season ago, earning first-team All-Pro honors and finishing third in the Offensive Player of the Year race.
