Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua has voluntarily entered a holistic care facility, his lawyer Levi McCathern confirmed. This follows a series of off-field incidents, including a recently filed lawsuit.
The lawsuit alleges Nacua made antisemitic comments and bit a woman during a December 31st incident, claims his attorney denies. McCathern characterized the bite as "horseplay" and stated Nacua entered the facility prior to the lawsuit's March filing.
This is not the first off-field concern for Nacua this year. In December, he publicly apologized after performing an antisemitic touchdown celebration suggestion during a live stream, stating he was unaware of its harmful nature.
His lawyer confirmed Nacua is in "great spirits" and will complete the program in time for the Rams' offseason activities. Nacua is entering the final year of his rookie contract after a standout 1,715-yard season.
