Los Angeles Rams starting left tackle Alaric Jackson was arrested on suspicion of felony domestic violence early Tuesday morning.
Police responded to a domestic battery call at his home in the 7400 block of Cliffside Court in West Hills just before 11 p.m. Monday. Officers took Jackson into custody at 12:30 a.m. Tuesday. He was booked into Van Nuys Community Police Station at 4:24 a.m. and released at 7:20 a.m. after posting $50,000 bond. His next court date is set for June 30 in Los Angeles.
Reports indicate the incident began as a verbal argument. Jackson allegedly believed the woman involved was recording him on her phone and tried to take it from her. Investigators noted scratch marks on her arms.
The Rams continued their voluntary organized team activities on Tuesday. Mandatory minicamp is scheduled for June 15-16.

Rams Statement
The team released a brief statement through the Associated Press.
“We are aware of the incident regarding Alaric Jackson, and we take these matters very seriously,” the Rams said. “Due to this being an ongoing legal situation, we cannot comment further at this time.”
Jackson’s Rise With the Rams
Jackson, 27, joined the Rams as an undrafted free agent in 2021. He worked his way into the lineup and became a full-time starter in 2023. Over the past three seasons he has started 45 of 51 games at left tackle.
He signed a three-year, $57 million contract extension during the 2025 offseason. That deal made him one of the higher-paid offensive linemen on the roster and locked in the blind-side protector role heading into 2026.
What This Means for the Rams
The news landed while the Rams were on the field for voluntary OTAs. Those sessions focus on installation and timing. Losing a starting left tackle to legal issues, even temporarily, forces the coaching staff to adjust protections and evaluate depth.
Jackson’s absence from the building Tuesday did not stop the rest of the offensive line from working. The team still has mandatory minicamp next week, where full participation becomes required.
This marks another off-field matter for Jackson. He served a two-game suspension in 2024 for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy. A separate civil lawsuit filed against him in 2025 was later dismissed.

The league will almost certainly review the latest case under its personal conduct policy. Any potential discipline would come after the legal process plays out. For now, the focus stays on Jackson’s court date and the Rams’ preparation for the season.
The organization kept its response short and careful. That approach is common when charges remain pending and facts are still being established in court.
