A.J. Jackson avoids felony charges but faces possible NFL suspension
Summary

Los Angeles Rams offensive tackle Alaric Jackson will not be charged with a felony following his June 9 arrest on suspicion of battery. However, he may still face other criminal charges and a suspension from the NFL. Jackson's arrest stemmed from an alleged incident involving an ex-girlfriend, who has applied for a restraining order against him. Previously suspended for two games in 2024 under the league's personal conduct policy, Jackson's recent issues put him at risk of a longer suspension. The Rams may need to look for a new starting left tackle if that occurs.
