Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua was kicked out of the game for throwing a punch at Seattle Seahawks linebacker Tyrel Dodson during the second quarter of their matchup.

Dodson blocked Nacua after Seahawks cornerback Riq Woolen intercepted a pass from Matthew Stafford that was meant for Nacua, with just 33 seconds left in the first half. Woolen was ruled down by contact, but Dodson kept pushing against Nacua, who then attempted to punch him.

Nacua played in the game despite being listed as questionable because of a knee injury.

The second-year receiver hurt his right knee during training camp and made it worse in the first game against Detroit, which caused him to miss five games while he was on injured reserve.

Nacua ended the game with one catch for 11 yards on four targets.
