LA Rams star Alaric Jackson gets concerning medical diagnosis, throwing doubt onto his 2025 season

By JAKE NISSE

Rams offensive lineman Alaric Jackson is reportedly dealing with a concerning medical issue – which has thrown his status for the 2025 season into question.

Jackson, 26, has started 29 games over the last two seasons and was part of the Rams’ Super Bowl-winning squad in the 2021 season.

Now, however, the tackle is dealing with blood clots, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.

Jackson previously dealt with the same problem in 2022, as he missed nine games that year.

Since then, he’s remained mostly healthy to become a core part of the Rams’ offensive line, signing a three-year, $56.3million extension to remain in LA this offseason.

While Rapoport noted that Jackson is expected to play in 2025, he noted the uncertainty around the tackle’s situation led the Rams to sign D.J. Humphries.

Humphries, a nine-year veteran, joined the team on Thursday. 

Jackson, who played his college football at Iowa, has been with the Rams since 2021 after signing as an undrafted free agent. 

Humphries was selected No. 24 overall by the Cardinals in the 2015 Draft, and spent eight years in Arizona before a stint with the Chiefs last year.

He only appeared in two games for Kansas City.

The Rams will begin their season on September 7 against the Texans.
