Rotowire

Jackson was limited by a knee injury all week during practice and has a chance to return from a one-game absence. The Rams intend to play their starters Sunday despite being limited to the fifth or sixth seed for the NFC playoffs, but if Jackson is ultimately ruled out, then D.J. Humphries would likely remain as the team's starting left tackle.

Rams' Alaric Jackson: Practices Monday, in line for Week 1
Rotowire
Jackson (tailbone/blood clots) practiced Monday, and head coach Sean McVay said the team plans for Jackson to start Week 1 versus Houston, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

Rams' Alaric Jackson: On track with recovery
Rotowire
Head coach Sean McVay said Monday that Jackson (tailbone/blood clots) is "on track" with his rehab and is "in great shape right now," Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.
Jackson has been working with the Rams' medical staff since June after he was diagnosed with blood clots. His availability for 2025 is very much up in the air, but it appears the 27-year-old offensive tackle is taking the right steps in his recovery. It's unclear who would serve as the Rams' starting left tackle if Jackson were to miss regular-season games. D.J. Humphries signed with the team in mid-June but did not play in the first two preseason games. Instead, it has been AJ Arcuri and David Quessenberry who have drawn the start at left tackle in the first and second preseason games, respectively.

Rams' Alaric Jackson: Outlook remains hazy
Rotowire
Rams coach Sean McVay said Tuesday that the team hopes Jackson (blood clots) will get back on the field, though there remains uncertainty due to the nature of the offensive lineman's condition, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
Jackson also dealt with blood clots in 2022 but was ultimately able to resume playing. That said, the condition isn't easy to navigate, and McVay has deemed Jackson's status as being "a day at a time." Jackson will be allowed to participate in jog-throughs at the start of training camp but won't do any physical on-field work. If he's not ready to play by Week 1, the recently signed D.J. Humphries will likely fill in at left tackle.

Rams' Alaric Jackson: Could miss time due to blood clots
Rotowire
Jackson is dealing with blood clots that are putting his availability for the 2025 season in question, though the belief is that he'll play this season, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Jackson previously had similar issues with blood clots in 2022 but managed to continue his NFL career, making 35 starts since the start of that campaign. His strong play earned the left tackle a three-year, $57 million extension in February. The Rams signed D.J. Humphries on Thursday to provide some insurance in case Jackson misses time in 2025 due to this issue resurfacing.

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.
