Keenan Allen News
Sunday, August 30, 10:48 AM
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Keenan Allen could face a three-game suspension following his arrest early Sunday morning, according to Mark Maske of Front Office Sports. Allen was arrested on preliminary misdemeanor charges of operating a vehicle while intoxicated with an alcohol concentration equivalent of .08 or higher and operating while intoxicated while endangering a person. The Marion County Prosecutor's Office will make the final charging decision. Maske notes that the NFL's substances-of-abuse policy calls for a three-game suspension without pay for a first alcohol-related violation of law, absent aggravating circumstances. No discipline has been announced, and the NFL generally waits for the legal process to conclude before acting. Allen signed with Indianapolis on Aug. 19 and caught one pass for 24 yards in Saturday's preseason finale. He had 81 catches for 777 yards and four touchdowns with the Chargers last season. A suspension would open more work for Alec Pierce, Josh Downs and tight end Tyler Warren.

Puka Nacua News
Tuesday, September 1, 11:14 AM
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua remains under NFL review as Week 1 approaches, and another off-field story surfaced Tuesday. According to the New York Post, Nacua's former girlfriend Hallie Aiono discussed experiencing betrayal, abuse and neglect during a past relationship while explaining why she is seeking professional help. She did not describe a specific incident or explicitly accuse Nacua of committing abuse in the video. Separately, Nacua is facing a civil lawsuit from Madison Atiabi, who alleges he bit her shoulder during a New Year's Eve gathering. Nacua's attorney has disputed allegations in the suit and characterized the biting as consensual horseplay. The NFL has not announced a suspension, and Nacua was not placed on the Commissioner's Exempt List over the weekend, though his situation remains under league review. He caught 129 passes for 1,715 yards and 10 touchdowns in 16 games last season. Until the league makes a decision, his availability for the Rams' Sept. 10 opener against San Francisco remains something fantasy managers need to watch.
