Rams' Nacua in rehab before lawsuit

Los Angeles Rams star Puka Nacua is in rehab and was there before being sued for an alleged antisemitic remark and biting incident, according to his attorney.

Levi McCathern, Nacua's lawyer, told The California Post that his client was in rehab 'a substantial period of time before any of these allegations broke' and is scheduled to remain there longer.

McCathern emphasized that Nacua's decision to enter rehab was not a direct response to the lawsuit filed by Madison Atiabi last month, but rather an attempt 'to improve his overall behavior in every aspect of life.' The wide receiver denies wrongdoing in the case.
