Catching an injured bird like this Sora would be is a very difficult and stressful operation. And, it may result in more harm than good. Although injured, this bird may not be able to fly but still appears to be capable of evasion. Sending people in with nets and traps will likely send this bird deeper into the marshy patch where rails are very good at eluding detection or especially capture.
That said, perhaps salting an approachable spot with cracked corn and then setting a remotely (rc or cord) releasable trap would capture this bird for treatment by a licensed rehabilitator. Of course, being CP, one would have to consider that this could create an attractive nuisance for CP style vermin. Whatever the decision, I wish you all good luck. It isn't going to be easy.
