Rams Coach McVay Confirms Left Tackle Jackson On Track With Recovery

The Los Angeles Rams are cautiously optimistic about the health of key players Matthew Stafford and left tackle Alaric Jackson as they prepare for the 2025 NFL season. Head coach Sean McVay reported that Stafford looked good in practice and is progressing positively, though his Week 1 availability remains uncertain. Jackson, who has been sidelined due to blood clots, is described by McVay as being in great shape and on track with his rehabilitation, although he is still restricted from full team activities. The Rams signed Jackson to a three-year contract extension this offseason and hope to have him back by midseason, which would be a significant boost to their offensive line. Meanwhile, veteran D.J. Humphries and other backups like David Quessenberry and Warren McClendon are providing depth in the left tackle position during Jackson’s absence. The team continues to take recovery one day at a time, balancing optimism with caution to avoid setbacks.
