Rams receiver Puka Nacua has voluntarily entered a holistic care facility, according to attorney Levi McCathern, and has been there since early March to "improve his overall behavior in every aspect of his life."
Nacua's decision predated the issuance of a lawsuit filed by a woman citing a New Year's Eve incident in which she said Nacua made an anti-semitic comment and bit her. Nacua has vehemently denied the allegations. It is Nacua's second alleged incident of anti-semitism, with him issuing an apology in December 2025, after podcaster Adin Ross encouraged Nacua to perform a rubbing hands gesture on air and got him to commit to doing it after his next touchdown. Nacua received backlash for the "Happy Merchant" gesture and issued a public apology, saying he was unaware of its offensive origin.
Nacua has informed the Rams he will be back in time for offseason workouts and OTAs,. The organization has expressed its unconditional support for their All-Pro receiver.
