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 filed a lawsuit alleging he made an antisemitic remark and bit her shoulder on New Year's Eve.

Puka Nacua, the Rams’ leading receiver last season, entered rehab before a woman filed a lawsuit alleging he made an antisemitic remark and bit her shoulder on New Year's Eve. His attorney said the treatment was not a response to the suit but an effort to improve his behavior.

Nacua apologized in December for a livestream gesture that invoked antisemitic tropes. He was drafted in 2023 and has become one of the NFL’s most productive receivers, leading the league with 129 catches last year.
