The Los Angeles Rams will now have two players suspended for the first two games of the season: Jimmy Garoppolo and Alaric Jackson.
The team announced on Friday that Jackson has been suspended two games without pay for violating the league’s personal conduct policy. No other details on the suspension were given.
Jackson has been sidelined due to an ankle injury but he was projected to be the starting left tackle this season. With this suspension, the Rams will likely turn to Joe Noteboom at that spot until Jackson is able to return.
Jackson, 26, will miss the Rams’ games against the Lions and Cardinals before being eligible to return in Week 3 when Los Angeles hosts the 49ers in the home opener.
The Rams signed Jackson to a one-year restricted tender worth $4.89 million this offseason, keeping him on the roster for the 2024 season.
