alcohol was definitely a thing for me. Just kind of drowning myself so that the issues and the stress that I was feeling never had the opportunity to be addressed.

Nacua faces potential NFL suspension after rehab stint and multiple off-field incidents.

Puka Nacua checked into a rehabilitation center in March during an offseason he described as the 'darkest times' of his life, citing alcohol use as a coping mechanism for stress and isolation. The 25-year-old wide receiver also faced a lawsuit alleging antisemitic statements and assault, plus multiple off-field incidents including an antisemitic touchdown celebration livestream. The NFL could still hand out a suspension at some point this season, creating uncertainty around his availability and fantasy value.
