Sean McVay is completely behind Puka Nacua.
On Tuesday, the Los Angeles Rams head coach voiced his support for the wide receiver amid a headline-filled offseason for less-than-ideal reasons.
With the start of the Rams’ offseason program, McVay said the wideout is expected to be with the team.
“He’ll be a full participant,” McVay said during a news conference just before the 2026 NFL Draft, via Sarah Barshop of ESPN. “Great to be able to see him. Looks great. He’s doing really well.”
It can be recalled that Nacua had checked himself into a rehab facility in early April to focus on his “personal growth.” Before that, a lawsuit was filed against the former BYU Cougars star, as a woman alleged Nacua had bitten her and issued antisemitic remarks on New Year’s Eve. His attorney, Levi McCathern, has strongly denied the allegations.
Having finished a rehab stint, Nacua’s focus is on football, with McVay and the Rams seemingly undeterred by the controversies involving the NFL’s 2025 receptions leader.
Entering the final year of his rookie contract, it would serve Nacua’s interests to be on his best behavior while playing great football in 2026.
Last season, the two-time Pro Bowler Nacua recorded career-highs of 1,715 receiving yards and 10 touchdown catches through 16 games.
