• Rams' Puka Nacua: Present for voluntary workouts

  04/20/2026 • By RotoWire

  Nacua is participating in the start of the Rams' voluntary offseason workouts Monday, Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times reports. Nacua checked into a rehab facility in March and now is back at team facilities and participating in strength and conditioning with teammates. The All-Pro wideout, who led the NFL with 129 receptions across his 17 regular-season appearances in 2025 while totaling a career-high 1,715 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns, is entering the final year of his rookie contract. That makes the 24-year-old eligible for an extension, the likes of which could rival the four-year, $168.6 million deal fellow 2023 draftee Jaxon Smith-Njigba received from Seattle earlier this offseason, though Nacua's off-field circumstances may complicate negotiations, per the Los Angeles Times. A civil lawsuit was filed against Nacua in March, stemming from a Dec. 31, 2025 incident. Head coach Sean McVay said in late March that the team's "expectations" are that "this will be an opportunity for [Nacua] to learn and grow, and we are hopeful that he's a Ram for a really long time."

• Rams' Puka Nacua: Checks into rehab facility

  04/01/2026 • By RotoWire

  Nacua's attorney confirmed this week that the star wide receiver has checked into a rehab facility in Malibu, California, Edward Lewis of the California Post reports. Nacua has been in the news for the wrong reasons since the Rams' season came to an end in the NFC Championship Game against the Seahawks back in January. He was accused of biting a woman during a Dec. 31 night out in Los Angeles after consuming alcohol. The woman then pressed charges against Nacua, who has since checked into a recovery center. "He is committed to using this time constructively so that he can return in the best possible position -- both personally and professionally -- to continue contributing to his team and the game he loves," Nacua's lawyer, Levi McCathern, said via Steve Wyche of NFL Network. "He will complete the program in time to fully participate in all of the Rams' OTAs. Puka is also deeply grateful for the support he has received from his family, friends, coach [Sean] McVay and teammates."

• Rams' Puka Nacua: Held to 62 yards in OT win

  01/19/2026 • By RotoWire

  Nacua had five receptions on 10 targets for 56 yards while taking two carries for six yards in Sunday's 20-17 overtime playoff win against Chicago. Nacua's 62 yards from scrimmage fell short of expectations in the divisional round given his recent string of hot play and the fact that the playoff contest nearly went five quarters. The stud wideout will get another opportunity to post gaudy numbers in the NFC Championship Game against Seattle after the Rams narrowly survived Sunday's overtime thriller. Nacua is primed to go off against the division foe after registering a robust 19-300-2 receiving line in two meetings against the Seahawks this regular season.

• Rams' Puka Nacua: Keeps rolling to start postseason

  01/11/2026 • By RotoWire

  Nacua recorded 10 receptions on 18 targets for 111 yards and one touchdown in Saturday's 34-31 wild-card round win over the Panthers. He added three rushes for 14 yards and an additional score. Nacua got off to a hot start, logging three receptions for 40 yards and a touchdown on the Rams' first offensive possession. He then capped off the team's third drive with a five-yard score that came on a backward pass from Matthew Stafford. Nacua also uncharacteristically dropped a wide-open pass heading into halftime that would have been another long touchdown, though he made up for that by breaking up a potential interception late in the fourth quarter to help the Rams advance. All told, he played a key role in the win and will remain a focal point of the offense in the upcoming divisional round.

• Rams' Puka Nacua: NFL reception leader in 2025

  01/05/2026 • By RotoWire

  Nacua hauled in 10 of 11 targets for 76 yards and a touchdown while taking two carries for 24 yards in Sunday's 37-20 win over the Cardinals. Nacua entered Sunday's contest with 119 catches over 15 healthy starts in 2025, which put him in a dead heat with Cardinals TE Trey McBride for the league lead in receptions, so it was fitting that both of the superstars' teams faced off against one another in the final game of the regular season. The wideout outproduced the tight end in this individual competition after Nacua secured 10 of his 11 targets compared to McBride's seven and eight, respectively. The 24-year-old Nacua added 24 rushing yards to give fantasy managers an even 100 yards from scrimmage to go along with his 11th touchdown as the Rams secured the victory and the NFC's fifth seed with the playoffs set to commence next week. The NFL's reception leader could be busy against Carolina's talented secondary when Nacua and the Rams visit the Panthers in the wild-card round.
