Puka Nacua has taken plenty of hits on the football field, but one of his more painful moments this offseason came off it — courtesy of a glass door at a party.
Recounting the incident on the "Impaulsive" podcast, Nacua admitted that he ran into a glass window pane at a party hosted by Fanatics founder Michael Rubin. According to Nacua, he got distracted while looking for teammate Davante Adams and didn't see the freshly cleaned glass pane in front of him.
"Uh, the glass window pane won," Nacua said.

Podcast host Mike Majlak, who witnessed the aftermath in person, recalled seeing a commotion before realizing what had happened. He added that Nacua was "bleeding"
from his face.
Nacua said he didn't initially realize what caused the cut, but added that he wasn't the only victim offered mixed comfort.
"They made me feel better when they said three other people ran into it," Nacua said. "But nobody else ended up bleeding from it. So I don't know if that made me feel much better or worse."
Fortunately for the Rams, Nacua's injury wasn't serious. And while he's dealing with a different on-field injury, it sounds like his off-field one never was going to prevent him from suiting up this offseason.
