Rams Get Insider Update on Puka Nacua Suspension Amid Abuse Allegations
Yahoo Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- The Los Angeles Rams' star wide receiver Puka Nacua is unlikely to face suspension related to assault allegations, as he has not been placed on the NFL commissioner's exempt list.
- NFL insider Tom Pelissero noted that suspensions typically occur before the season starts, and with cutdown day two weeks from the opener, a suspension for Nacua seems unlikely at this point.
- Nacua faces multiple legal and behavioral issues, including assault accusations, antisemitic remarks, and past controversial comments, but the Rams and coach Sean McVay continue to support him.
- Aside from legal concerns, Nacua is currently dealing with a psoas injury, which is another challenge for the Rams to manage during the season.
- Left tackle Alaric Jackson also avoided being placed on the commissioner's exempt list, suggesting the Rams may retain key players without suspensions as the season progresses.
