Rams starting left tackle Alaric Jackson was suspended without pay for the first two games of the NFL regular season for violating its personal conduct policy, the league announced Friday.
It was not announced what prompted the suspension.
As is team policy for a day before a game, coach Sean McVay was not made available to reporters Friday. McVay is expected to discuss Jackson’s suspension following Saturday’s preseason game in Houston.
Jackson started 15 of last season’s 17 regular-season games and the Rams’ wild-card round loss to the Detroit Lions. Among tackles who played more than 500 regular-season snaps in 2023, he tied for first in fewest sacks allowed.
Jackson signed with the Rams as an undrafted free agent in 2021 following a college career at Iowa.
Jackson will be eligible for reinstatement on Sept. 16 following the Rams’ Week 2 game against the Arizona Cardinals.
