He’s someone that understands the system and is good depth. “Again though, don’t want to speculate.”Nacua is facing a potential suspension while the NFL investigates several off-field matters.Nacua issued an apology in December for performing a gesture that plays upon antisemitic tropes while appearing on a livestream.He also spent part of the offseason in rehab, and in March, had a lawsuit filed against him.A Los Angeles women alleged he made an “unprovoked antisemitic statement” on New Year’s Eve and later bit her on the shoulder, according to the California Post.Speculation has grown that Nacua may be suspended by the NFLGettyNacua collected 1,715 yards and 10 touchdowns in 2025GettyRams head coach Sean McVay insisted that the Atwell trade was not insurance in case of a potential Nacua suspension.“No. No, it had nothing to do with that,” McVay told reporters.“It was exclusively [a] guy that we were familiar with that, you could really get at [a price] we felt like was good for us and good for Jarquez.”“I think he’ll do a good job for the Dolphins, and it’s never easy when you have guys that are such great people.

If the league office opts for a multi-game sanction, the Rams have at least cushioned the blow with a experienced option who won’t need time to learn McVay’s offense.
