Rams receiver Puka Nacua addresses offseason incidents at OTAs

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua addressed his off-field issues Thursday at organized team activities.

Nacua, 24, has drawn attention since the Rams’ NFC Championship Game loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Reports later alleged he bit a woman during a New Year’s Eve incident in Los Angeles and shouted an antisemitic remark at dinner. He and his legal team denied the antisemitism claims.

Nacua also faced public intoxication allegations. Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold publicly criticized the receiver.

Nacua entered rehab in Malibu and said the stay helped him reflect.

"With it being an ongoing legal battle, out of respect for the other party involved, I don’t really have that much to speak on," he said. "But as I previously stated, [it’s] a moment for me to learn from kind of some of the situations I was putting myself in. And then also having just an awareness of how I’m conducting myself in and out of this football field."

Nacua is reportedly receiving treatment for drug and alcohol issues.

His older brother, Samson Nacua, was arrested in January on allegations tied to the theft of a Lakers player’s car. Samson was never charged. He had earlier been suspended by the United Football League for slapping a fan.
