Puka Nacua isn't holding out or in with the Los Angeles Rams, and is instead choosing to participate as usual... he just wants to play ball, and he wants to be with his teammates.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Nacua participating in 2026 without holdout; production will secure future payday.

Puka Nacua is participating in the 2026 season as usual and is not holding out for a new contract. The source notes that Nacua expressed he just wants to play ball and be with his teammates; holding out "never crossed" his mind. The source projects that if Nacua continues to produce, he will get paid at the NFL level either through a long-term Rams contract, franchise tag, or by another team. His readiness for 2026 is described as "one less thing the Rams will have to worry about."
