The Los Angeles Rams are getting set to head to Maui for their mandatory mini-camp from June 16-18. Ahead of that, though, they were dealt a big blow in terms of health news regarding one of their top offensive linemen. According to NFL insider Ian Rapoport, offensive tackle Alaric Jackson is dealing with blood clots.

"Rams OT Alaric Jackson, a key member of the O-line who just signed an extension, is dealing with blood clots once again, per The Insiders," Rapoport said on X. "Similar to what he had in 2022. While the belief is he’ll play in 2025, there are still questions. That explains the DJ Humphries signing."

Jackson missed 9 games in 2022 due to blood clots. As Rapoport said, the Rams believe he'll play in 2025, but everything does appear to be very up in the air for the time being.
