Rams WR Puka Nacua in Rehab Amid Assault Lawsuit

Los Angeles Rams wide‑receiver Puka Nacua is currently in rehab, a period that began before a woman sued him for assault and battery after an alleged antisemitic remark and shoulder bite on New Year’s Eve.

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 23‑year‑old, drafted in 2023, led the NFL with 129 catches last season and has been one of the Rams’ most productive receivers, but he apologized in December for a livestream gesture that invoked antisemitic tropes.
