NFL receiver Puka Nacua is currently under review by the league following an off-field incident involving an alleged biting. Despite the investigation, analyst Adam Schefter stated there is a possibility that Nacua will avoid suspension for the duration of the current season. The Rams player is expected to remain available for the upcoming Thursday night game against the 49ers. The league has not placed Nacua or offensive tackle Alaric Jackson on the commissioner’s exempt list, a move often utilized ahead of player discipline. While the possibility of future suspension remains, current indications suggest Nacua will continue to play. Beyond the investigation, Nacua is managing a psoas injury, though reports confirm this will not prevent him from appearing in the team's next contest.
