The Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua is eligible to participate in Thursday's season-opening game against the San Francisco 49ers in Melbourne, Australia. While Nacua remains under review by the NFL regarding potential disciplinary action under the league's personal conduct policy, no formal action has been taken at this time. The investigation follows a civil lawsuit filed in March by a woman alleging assault and battery, claims Nacua's attorney has denied. Offensive tackle Alaric Jackson, who faces a separate domestic violence charge, is also expected to be available for the contest. The Rams are scheduled to depart for Australia on Tuesday, while the 49ers arrived last week for preparations. Nacua has also been managing a psoas injury during the lead-up to the season.
