View Date:2024-12-24 00:29:16
The Los Angeles Rams took a big hit along their offensive line just a few weeks before the start of the regular season.
Offensive tackle Alaric Jackson has been suspended without pay for the first two games of the regular season for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy, the league announced Friday.
Jackson started 15 games at tackle for the Rams last season. He’s penciled in as a starter this season but will have to sit out the first two contests.
The Rams’ first two games are on the road against the Detroit Lions and Arizona Cardinals. Jackson is eligible for reinstatement after the Rams' Week 2 game against Arizona.
The Rams host the San Francisco 49ers in Week 3.

Arizona Cardinals WR Zay Jones suspended
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Zay Jones won’t be available for the start of the regular season.
The NFL announced Friday that Jones has been suspended for five games for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy.
Jones was arrested last November and charged with domestic battery. A Florida state attorney's office dropped the charge in March. The NFL ran it’s own investigation and decided to suspend the wide receiver.
Jones spent the last two seasons with the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Cardinals signed the wideout in May. He’s expected to add depth to Arizona’s receiving corps.
Jones will be eligible for reinstatement on October 7 following the Cardinals’ Week 5 game versus the 49ers.
Free-agent CB J.C. Jackson suspended
Free-agent cornerback J.C. Jackson has been suspended for the first game of the regular season for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy. Jackson is eligible to sign with a team and participate in all preseason activities.
The New England Patriots released Jackson in March.
