Green Bay Packers insider Peter Bukowski took a sarcastic swipe at Puka Nacua after the Rams receiver said journaling has helped him navigate his offseason drama.
Bukowski, the LockedOnPackers host, reacted on X to Adam Schefter’s podcast comments about Nacua by mocking the idea with a fake diary entry tied to the biting allegation. He wrote: "Dear Diary," wrote Bukowski. "today I bit someone at a party. (Allegedly)."
Nacua’s 2026 offseason has been packed with off-field controversy, a legal fight and a stint in rehab. At the center of it is a civil lawsuit filed by a woman named Madison Atiabi, who says Nacua made antisemitic remarks and bit her shoulder and her friend’s thumb at a New Year’s Eve event.
Nacua’s defense attorney, Levi McCathern, has pushed back hard, calling the suit a "shakedown" and "blackmail" after alleged demands for millions of dollars during mediation.
The case took another turn when video footage from the night surfaced. The clip reportedly shows an unresponsive, passed-out Nacua while Atiabi and her friends are seen dancing nearby.
His legal team says that footage undercuts the claim of a violent assault and could lead to a defamation countersuit. Atiabi’s request for a temporary restraining order was also denied by a Los Angeles judge and later withdrawn.
The legal mess followed another incident from last December, when Nacua appeared on a livestream with Adin Ross and N3on and performed an antisemitic touchdown celebration. He also took aim at NFL officiating during the stream.
Nacua later apologized publicly, saying he did not know the gesture was antisemitic and acknowledging that his anger at the referees had boiled over in the wrong way.
After the controversies piled up, Nacua checked himself into a holistic in-patient rehab facility in Malibu. During Rams OTAs, he said he has been working with a team therapist and attending weekly meetings, and that he has been using journaling to help with his mental health.
The fallout could also carry financial consequences. Nacua, 25, is in the final year of his rookie contract and eligible for an extension. While the Rams were reportedly interested in a lucrative new deal, recent updates indicate the team may instead let him play out the season.

Packers May Have Finally Found The Secondary Piece Fans Have Wanted
Among the NFC Norths day-two and later draft picks, Green Bays most intriguing addition may be the cornerback it brought in to shore up a spot that has stayed on the radar for years. Brandon Cisse, selected No. 52 overall out of South Carolina, arrives with the kind of profile that can matter quickly in a division that keeps testing secondaries, especially for a Packers roster that needed help at corner and had to wait until the second round to address it.
Keisean Nixon and Carrington Valentine are still the names penciled in as projected starters, but Cisse gives Green Bay a real chance to push the room forward rather than just fill it out. If he develops as hoped, he could compete for reps before long and grow into the kind of outside presence the Packers have been trying to find, which makes his first training camp one of the more important subplots on the roster.

Packers Roster Has One Fragile Truth That Could Define 2026
The Packers spent the offseason trying to make sure Jordan Loves upward climb doesnt get lost in the noise around an unforgiving NFC North. Green Bay backed up its quarterback room with Tyrod Taylor after Malik Willis moved on to the Miami Dolphins, and the bigger picture remains the same: a team trying to keep pace in a division where every week can tilt the standings. The receiving corps still has to prove it can hold up, with Christian Watson, Jayden Reed and Matthew Golden forming the top tier, and the front five remains a talking point after an uneven year that left plenty to clean up.
Josh Jacobs adds another layer of uncertainty to a roster that would prefer stability as it looks toward 2026. The running back situation has become one of those issues that lingers over a team whether it wants to talk about it or not, and Green Bay also has to monitor Tucker Krafts recovery after his knee injury knocked him off an All-Pro trajectory. Put together, it leaves the Packers with a familiar kind of test: a talented core, a quarterback still building, and enough fragile spots that one or two more setbacks could shape the season in ways no one in Green Bay can afford to ignore.
