Puka Nacua News
Saturday, August 22, 7:05 PM
Los Angeles Rams star wide receiver Puka Nacua had his civil trial date moved to March 2028. Nacua faces a possible suspension for allegedly biting a woman and making antisemitic statements, allegations he has denied. While the NFL will conduct its own independent investigations, Nacua's suspension could be delayed until 2027 or 2028. In 2024, Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice had his trial pushed back to the following season, suited up in Week 1, and was suspended before the 2025 season. Nacua has missed time during training camp due to groin soreness, and with the regular season just 19 days away from the Rams' game against the San Francisco 49ers in Australia, he will need to get on the field soon to be ready to go.

Tetairoa McMillan News
Friday, August 21, 5:36 AM
The Carolina Panthers recently participated in a joint practice with the Jaguars ahead of Friday night's preseason matchup. While the session got off to a slow start for the Panthers' offense, things quickly settled into place once quarterback Bryce Young started looking in the direction of wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan. "Bryce just started finding TMac in different ways," head coach Dave Canales told reporters after practice. "Explosive passes, touchdowns, things that went into the end zone. It was fantastic to see." Young connected with the 2025 Offensive Rookie of the Year on a number of plays throughout practice, including a leaping catch in the corner of the end zone that beat double coverage. Afterward, Young spoke about McMillan's importance to the team. "It makes my job so much easier, having a guy like him out there that you can trust one-on-one," he shared. "Obviously he's a huge part of what we do." Following a WR15 finish as a rookie, McMillan is being drafted as the WR17 but has a chance to crack the top 12 as a focal point of the Panthers' offense.
