At Rams OTAs, 24-year-old Puka Nacua said his offseason turmoil became a chance to learn, but declined to discuss details because the case remains an ongoing legal battle.
New Year’s Eve allegations drove the scrutiny: a woman accused Nacua of biting her shoulder and thumb during a Los Angeles dinner, and reports also cited public intoxication and an alleged antisemitic outburst.
Nacua said a rehab stay in Malibu helped him reflect on how he conducts himself on and off the field; he is also reportedly receiving treatment for drug and alcohol issues.
His legal team has denied the antisemitism claim, leaving the receiver to manage legal and reputational fallout after a headline-filled offseason following the Rams’ NFC Championship loss.

Will Puka Nacua’s off-field turmoil cost him a record contract, or can his on-field brilliance overcome the controversy?
