Los Angeles Rams all-pro wide receiver Puka Nacua has entered a rehab center after some recent off-field issues.

Nacua was recently accused of assault and battery by a woman who alleges he bit her on the shoulder on New Year’s Eve and made an antisemitic remark. 

Neither Nacua's attorney, Levi McCathern, nor the Rams, immediately responded to an email for confirmation. 

However, the New York Post quoted McCathern as saying, "He was in there a substantial period of time before any of these allegations broke with Madison, and he’s scheduled to be there for a while longer."

"The combination of stories ya’ll have run is certainly a contributing factor," the attorney said, adding that Nacua wants to "improve his overall behavior in every aspect of his life that he can do it."

Plaintiff Madison Atiabi says Nacua bit her and left teeth marks on her shoulder when they were in a van together later in the night, and she claims Nacua also bit her friend’s thumb.

McCathern strongly denied Nacua made any antisemitic statements but described the bites as "horseplay."

Atiabi and her attorney, Joseph Kar, claim Nacua made an antisemitic exclamation that emotionally distressed her when they were together in Century City.
