After the Week 6 win over Baltimore, head coach Sean McVay said that Nacua was actually dealing with an ankle injury and his status for next week's game in London is TBD.
It’s an ankle injury for Puka Nacua, not a foot. Sean McVay isn’t sure yet if he’ll be able to play next week in London. He pushed through pain to give a few snaps late today.

Ian Rapoport reported Monday that Nacua is dealing with an ankle sprain, which is "likely" to cause him to miss time, especially with the Rams' bye coming in Week 8.
