Schefter: Nacua could face suspension

Key Points:

• Puka Nacua has made positive off-field changes, including improved workout and diet habits, enhancing his speed and route running as he enters his age-25 season with the Rams.
• Despite his on-field talent, the Rams are not expected to offer Nacua a contract extension before the season due to ongoing off-field concerns; he may be franchise-tagged for 2026 if no deal is reached.
• Rams player Jackson is currently undergoing treatment for a blood clot and has faced multiple off-field legal issues, including a recent domestic violence arrest with no charges filed and a pending lawsuit related to privacy violations.
• Nacua recently checked into a rehab facility following allegations of biting a woman and making antisemitic remarks, but remains with the Rams for offseason activities, indicating potential for personal growth and future team commitment.
• The Rams and coaching staff remain hopeful about Nacua’s development and long-term presence on the team, though contract negotiations may be delayed as he continues treatment and addresses recent incidents.
