The Los Angeles Rams are making moves on the offensive line, and it's not without reason. Recent reports indicate that left tackle Alaric Jackson is once again contending with a familiar adversary: blood clots.
Jackson, who has faced this health challenge before in 2022, made his mark by playing in eight games with six starts amid that period of concern. Since then, he’s become a cornerstone for the Rams, starting 15 games as the primary left tackle in 2023 and maintaining his role with 14 starts in 2024.
The current prognosis suggests optimism, with belief running high that Jackson will be ready to return to play in the 2025 season. However, the Rams are not leaving anything to chance, bolstering their roster by adding offensive tackle D.J. Humphries for depth and security.
Humphries, known for his resilience, signed with the Chiefs last November after recovering from an ACL tear. While his stint with Kansas City saw limited snaps during the regular season and playoffs, his presence provides the Rams with a seasoned option should Jackson's condition sideline him longer than anticipated.
