An attorney representing Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua referred to the biting incident that left him facing a lawsuit and possible battery charges was "a minor incident’" and said it "caused little harm."
The attorney, Levi McCathern, II, made his comments Tuesday, July 21, after USA TODAY Sports published a photo of the injury a woman said she suffered when Nacua bit her Dec. 31, 2025.
Joseph Kar, the woman’s attorney, provided USA TODAY Sports a color copy of a photo in court documents.
“This is just another attorney, along with his client, trying to turn a minor incident into a multimillion-dollar payday,’’ McCathern said in written comments provided to USA TODAY Sports by his law firm. “I think most people see this for what it is, a young man’s mistake that caused little harm. Now they’re going after one of the NFL’s brightest young stars because they see dollar signs.’’
McCathern added, “We have to stop rewarding this type of behavior, where every minor incident involving a public figure is treated like a winning lottery ticket.”
