Rams LT Alaric Jackson Blood Clots Raise 2025 Availability Questions

Los Angeles Rams offensive tackle Alaric Jackson is facing uncertainty for the 2025 season due to a recurrence of blood clots, a condition that sidelined him for much of the 2022 season. Despite the health concerns, there is a prevailing belief that Jackson will play this upcoming season, though his exact timeline to return remains unclear. To mitigate the risk of Jackson missing time, the Rams recently signed veteran D.J. Humphries to provide depth and insurance at the left tackle position. Jackson, who signed a three-year, $57 million extension earlier this year, has been a key starter for the Rams and was rated among the top offensive tackles in the league. His blood clot issues are serious, potentially life-threatening, which makes the team's precautionary signing of Humphries a prudent move. The Rams and their fans hope Jackson can fully recover and continue his strong performance on the offensive line.
