Rams WR Puka Nacua in Rehab Amid Assault Lawsuit

Nacua entered rehab before the lawsuit was filed, according to his attorney Levi McCathern, who said the program was intended to improve his overall behavior. The woman claims he made an antisemitic statement and bit her shoulder on New Year’s Eve, leading to the assault and battery suit.

Nacua apologized in December after a livestream gesture that invoked antisemitic tropes. The fifth‑round pick from BYU has been one of the NFL’s most productive receivers, leading the league with 129 catches last season and earning 1,715 yards and 10 touchdowns. He is eligible for a contract extension this offseason.
