Rams WR Puka Nacua in Rehab Amid Assault Lawsuit

Los Angeles Rams All‑Pro wide receiver Puka Nacua is in rehab, having entered treatment before a woman sued him for assault and battery after an alleged antisemitic remark and shoulder bite on New Year's Eve.

Puka Nacua, the Rams’ leading receiver last season, entered rehab before the lawsuit was filed. According to his attorney, the treatment was not a reaction to the claim but an effort to improve his behavior.

Nacua apologized in December for a livestream gesture that invoked antisemitic tropes. He remains a key player for the Rams and is eligible for a contract extension this offseason.
