Los Angeles Rams left tackle Alaric Jackson will not face felony charges after his June 8 arrest for domestic violence, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney.
Ivor Pine, a spokesman for the Los Angeles City Attorney's Office, told ESPN that Jackson does not currently have any charges filed, though the case remains open.
“Charges are not filed against the respondent at this time, however, the case stays open throughout the length of the statute of limitations. It can be re-evaluated if there are further developments,” Pine said in a statement.
Jackson has become one of the Rams’ clearest success stories under Les Snead. He arrived in 2021 as an undrafted free agent from Iowa and grew into the team’s starting left tackle on a roster that has stayed in the Super Bowl mix. Over the last three seasons, he has started the last 57 games he appeared in, including the regular season and playoffs, and he is expected to hold that job moving forward.
He is under a three-year, $57 million contract he agreed to in 2025, putting the Rams in position to keep him anchored at left tackle heading into a crucial 2026 season. With NFL MVP Matthew Stafford set to return this fall and his long-term heir, Ty Simpson, now in place, Jackson remains a central piece for one of the league’s top offenses. If he stays on track, he’ll have a chance to chase a second ring with Sean McVay still running the show.

Cardinals Fans Clearly Believe One Young Pass Rusher Is Ready
With Josh Sweat assumed to be healthy and on the roster, Cardinals fans were asked a simple question about the rest of the pass rush: who finishes second on the team in sacks? The answer came back loud and clear, with Walter Nolen drawing half the vote and separating himself from the pack as the name supporters most want to see turn promise into production.
The optimism is easy to understand because the bar is high enough to make the conversation interesting. Arizona is hoping someone from that young group can get close to Calais Campbells 6.5-sack mark for the team, which would require a real leap from where these pass rushers have been before and a better collective showing than they managed a year ago.

Cardinals Suddenly Face An Uncomfortable Question About A Franchise Veteran
As the Cardinals head toward the 2026 season and training camp, one of the more uncomfortable conversations in the building may center on Budda Baker. The veteran safety has been one of the franchises most reliable players for years, piling up tackles and earning a long run of Pro Bowl recognition, yet the kind of production that once made him untouchable now has to be weighed against age, contract value and a roster that is still trying to find its footing.
For a team that could be looking at every avenue to create flexibility, Bakers name is hard to ignore. Arizona already has some alternative answers at safety, which only adds to the tension around a player who has been part of the teams identity for so long, and the possibility of moving him would be about more than football. It would signal a willingness to treat a franchise veteran as a resource in a rebuilding year, even if no one is saying that decision is anywhere close to final. [Read more 🡒]
Cardinals Camp Health Report Could Change Everything For This Season
The Cardinals are heading into training camp with a health picture that looks better in some spots than it did a few weeks ago, and that matters for a roster trying to sort out its identity early. Head coach Mike LaFleur said former first-round pick Nolen is trending toward being ready after offseason meniscus surgery, while slot corner Williams is also moving in the right direction as camp approaches. Tight end Tip Reiman, meanwhile, is expected to be ready to go after dealing with a right ankle injury.
There is still a real catch to the optimism, though, because not every injury update has gone the same way. Rookie Kaleb Proctor is dealing with a meniscus tear and is facing a much longer absence, which leaves the Cardinals balancing one set of encouraging returns against a setback that could reshape how they manage the early part of camp and beyond.
