Rams' Alaric Jackson: Agrees to three-year extension
Rotowire
Jackson and the Rams agreed to terms Friday on a three-year, $57 million contract extension, Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports reports.
Jackson reached terms on his extension on the same day that veteran quarterback Matthew Stafford and the team agreed to a restructured contract, hinting that one of the 37-year-old signal-caller's terms may have been the continued presence of his reliable left tackle. The 26-year-old former UDFA had been scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, and he would have been one of the top O-linemen available.

Rotowire
Head coach Sean McVay told reporters Friday that Jackson (foot) is listed as questionable but is expected to play in Sunday's matchup against the Bills, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.
Jackson appears to be trending toward playing in Week 14, as he upgraded from no participation in Wednesday's practice to a limited session Thursday. If the 26-year-old offensive lineman is able to play through his foot issue Sunday, he's expected to serve as the Rams' top left tackle, protecting Matthew Stafford's blindside.

Rams' Alaric Jackson: Gets second-round tender
Rotowire
The Rams tendered restricted free agent Jackson at the second-round level Tuesday, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
Jackson joined the Rams as an undrafted free agent out of Iowa in 2021, and he became a full-time starter in 2023, starting all 15 regular-season games in which he played. Revamping the offensive line and keeping it together has been an offseason priority for the Rams after they re-signed RG Kevin Dotson before then striking a free-agent deal with LG Jonah Jackson.

Rams' Alaric Jackson: Won't play Sunday
Rotowire
Jackson (thigh) is inactive ahead of Sunday's game against the Giants, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.
The 25-year-old offensive lineman was a late addition to the Rams' injury report, as he was a nonparticipant in Friday's practice due to a thigh injury, and it now seems as if that issue will stop him from suiting up in Week 17. Expect Joe Noteboom to fill in at left tackle in Jackson's stead.

Rams' Alaric Jackson: Active for OTAs
Rotowire
Jackson (illness) has been an active participant at the Rams' OTAs this week, Jourdan Rodrigue of the Athletic reports.
Jackson was placed on injured reserve in November after he was diagnosed with blood clots, but he appears ready to go ahead of the 2023 campaign. The offensive lineman will look to pick up where he left off at left tackle last season, impressing as an injury replacement for starter Joe Noteboom (Achilles), who he'll slot in behind again this year on the depth chart.
