Rams WR Puka Nacua in Rehab Amid Assault Lawsuit

Los Angeles Rams wide‑receiver Puka Nacua is in rehab, having entered treatment before a woman sued him for assault and battery. The lawsuit follows allegations he made antisemitic remarks and bit her shoulder.

Nacua, who led the NFL with 129 catches last season, entered rehab to improve his behavior, according to his attorney Levi McCathern. The decision was not a direct response to the lawsuit filed late last month.

The Rams drafted Nacua in the fifth round of the 2023 draft and he has become one of the league’s most productive receivers. He remains eligible for a contract extension this offseason.
