Puka Nacua in Rehab, Rams Coach Stands by Him

0:00On April 1st, Los Angeles Ram's wide receiver, Puka Nakua, is in a luxury treatment center right now. His attorney says recent headlines, including a lawsuit claiming he made anti-submitted comments and bit a woman named Madison Adiabi played a role in, the decision to go there. According to the attorney, Nakua started rehab a good while before that biting allegation came out on New Year's Eve. He's planning to stay longer and is focused on fixing his behavior across the board this off season. Nakua's coach Sean McVeigh is standing by his player. He says he trusts Nakua's heart after three years together and wants to guide him through this without jumping to conclusions. The biting claim happened during what the attorney calls horseplay. This is also Nakua's second run-in with anti-submitted issues. He apologized last year for a gesture he didn't know the meaning of. Nakua's team sees this as a positive step toward growth and everyone's watching how he bounces back for the season ahead.
