Sean McVay told reporters after practice that Jackson took the day off to manage his blood clot situation. He's still taking medication for his blood clots, but McVay said it's simply preventative and part of the plan.
Jackson was diagnosed with blood clots last offseason but never missed any time during the regular season as a result of his condition.
There doesn't seem to be any concern about Jackson's availability moving forward.
Rams LT Alaric Jackson wasn’t at practice today because he’s taking the medication for his blood clots, Sean McVay says. The timing and pacing of the meds are all part of the team’s plan, the coach says.
