Jackson was suspended for two games in late August for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy, but he's now been reinstated after serving the full suspension.

The NFL reinstated Jackson form his two-game suspension Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Jackson was suspended for two games in late August for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy, but he's now been reinstated after serving the full suspension. The Rams' offensive line is dealing with a plethora of injuries after just two weeks, so Jackson's return to left tackle will likely be a significant boost as the season progresses.
Jackson has been suspended two games for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy, Tyler Dragon of USA Today and Cameron DaSilva of USA Today report. Jackson, who has been sidelined with an ankle injury of late, was projected to be the Rams' starting left tackle this season. He's now slated to miss the team's first two regular-season games and will be eligible to return to action in Week 3 against the 49ers. In his looming absence, Joe Noteboom is a candidate to fill in for Jackson.
Head coach Sean McVay told reporters after Saturday's practice session that Jackson is considered week-to-week after rolling his ankle in practice last Thursday, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports. Jackson was initially labelled as day-to-day after rolling his ankle, but McVay relayed that he doesn't want to rush the 26-year-old lineman back to practice. Jackson, who is slated to serve as the Rams' starting left tackle, will likely sit for Sunday's preseason opener against the Cowboys, but he could also be kept out of the following game against the Chargers on Aug. 17. In Jackson's absence, AJ Arcuri and Joe Noteboom will have an opportunity for more reps at left tackle with the first-team offense.
Jackson tweaked his ankle at Monday's practice. There is no word on the severity of Jackson's ankle injury at this time. Expect the Rams to err on the side of caution with him this early in camp in order to ensure his health for the start of the season. When healthy, he is projected to protect Matthew Stafford's blindside at left tackle.
Jackson signed his free agent tender from the Rams on Monday. Jackson had the second-round tender placed on him March 12 after he started 15 games for the Rams at left tackle in 2023. The 25-year-old allowed only 1.0 sacks last season and should remain the player protecting Matthew Stafford's blindside again in 2024.
The Rams tendered restricted free agent Jackson at the second-round level, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports. Jackson joined the Rams as an undrafted free agent out of Iowa in 2021, and he became a full-time starter in 2023, starting all 15 games in which he played. Revamping the offensive line and keeping it together has been an offseason priority for the Rams after they re-signed RG Kevin Dotson before then striking a free-agent deal with LG Jonah Jackson.
