However, head coach Sean McVay offered a promising update on the offensive lineman on Monday, saying that Jackson is &#8220;on track&#8221; with his rehab but is still restricted from full team activities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe&#8217;s doing great,\u201d McVay said. \u201cHe&#8217;s on track and with him truly taking that thing a week at a time. He is in great shape right now. He&#8217;s able to be physically active. There are just some restrictions in regard to being able to participate in some of the full-time activities. I couldn&#8217;t be more impressed with how he&#8217;s handling this situation. What a great job he&#8217;s done taking care of himself. He&#8217;s added good muscle. He&#8217;s taken great care of himself and I think he&#8217;s in great physical and mental shape and we&#8217;ll look forward to getting him out on the field sooner than later.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Jackson signed a three-year extension with the team this offseason but hasn&#8217;t practiced since June. He last dealt with blood clots in 2022 where he missed nine games.<\/p>\n<p>If Jackson can&#8217;t go, the Rams&#8217; backup plan is to start veteran D.J. Humphries, whom they signed this offseason. This isn&#8217;t the best-case scenario, but it&#8217;s certainly one the Rams feel comfortable enough with to go with if Jackson isn&#8217;t ready to suit up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The health of Matthew Stafford isn&#8217;t the only pressing issue facing the Los Angeles Rams ahead of the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":94801,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2079],"tags":[6993,6994,247,265,240,7,20842,789,239,1014,58,2444,2611,3310,32,3687,248,267,246,88,6,35196,245,264,424,3686,3307,9,266,3177],"class_list":{"0":"post-299921","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-los-angeles-rams","8":"tag-alaric","9":"tag-alaric-jackson","10":"tag-american","11":"tag-american-football","12":"tag-angeles","13":"tag-football","14":"tag-hub","15":"tag-jackson","16":"tag-los","17":"tag-los-angeles","18":"tag-los-angeles-rams","19":"tag-losangeles","20":"tag-losangelesrams","21":"tag-matthew","22":"tag-matthew-stafford","23":"tag-mcvay","24":"tag-national","25":"tag-national-sports","26":"tag-neutral","27":"tag-news","28":"tag-nfl","29":"tag-nfl-hub","30":"tag-overall","31":"tag-overall-neutral","32":"tag-rams","33":"tag-sean","34":"tag-sean-mcvay","35":"tag-sports","36":"tag-sports-news","37":"tag-stafford"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115054023270727747","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/299921","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=299921"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/299921\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/94801"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=299921"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=299921"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=299921"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
