The Los Angeles Rams are back on the practice field for their third session of training camp, and starting left tackle Alaric Jackson was noticeably not out with the team.
Jackson is navigating an ongoing legal issue over an alleged domestic violence incident with a woman. He was present and accounted for on Day 1 of camp. Moreover, Rams head coach Sean McVay said he expected the Super Bowl champion to be a full participant.
However, that plan appears to have already been disrupted.
Alaric Jackson Not Spotted During Rams’ Second Practice
Jackson participated on Day 1 of camp. However, the Rams had another veteran on the field in Jackson’s place for Day 2. The switch did not go unnoticed.
“Here at Rams camp and David Quessenberry is at left tackle with the first team,” The Athletic’s Nate Atkins reported in a post on X on July 29. “No sign of Alaric Jackson anywhere at practice so far.”
Jackson’s legal situation remains unresolved.
Nevertheless, Jackson’s absence from the field on Wednesday puts the spotlight back on McVay’s previous remarks about him and wide receiver Puka Nacua.
“We’ve had great communication with the league. What happens is, is the legal process wraps itself up. Then . . . the league does their investigation. And so, I’m not gonna–what I don’t want to do is put the cart before the horse. So, that’s got to take place,” McVay told reporters on July 25. “Then, that offers the opportunity for the league to come in and do their independent investigation and then make decisions accordingly.”
