Rams’ Alaric Jackson Arrested On Domestic Violence Charges, Casting Doubt L.A.’s Super Bowl Favorite Status

The Los Angeles Rams are in the news—not for Miles Garrett, but because left tackle Alaric Jackson was arrested Tuesday on suspicion of felony domestic violence, creating significant offensive issues for the Rams’ Super Bowl aspirations.

The Rams are now Super Bowl favorites after acquiring Garrett and potentially Aaron Donald.

Law enforcement said police responded to Jackson’s home in the San Fernando Valley following a domestic disturbance report.​

Investigators said Jackson allegedly became involved in a verbal argument with a woman and attempted to take her phone after believing she was recording him. Authorities reported the woman suffered visible scratch marks on her arm during the incident.

Jackson was arrested early Tuesday morning and booked into the Los Angeles County Jail. His bail was set at $50,000, and he was released shortly after. His next scheduled court appearance is set for June 30.

Incidents like this are especially concerning, given Jackson recently signed a $57 million contract extension with the Rams. The team can’t afford disruptions to chemistry or risk losing a starter to suspension.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell is strict on the league’s personal conduct policy. Jackson also served a two-game suspension in 2024 for violating that policy, so he may face a similar or longer suspension now.

For now, the legal process is ongoing, and no convictions or final decisions have been announced. The situation will remain under close watch as training camp approaches.
