Jackson signed his free agent tender from the Rams on Monday.
Jackson had the second-round tender placed on him March 12 after he started 15 games for the Rams at left tackle in 2023. The 25-year-old allowed only 1.0 sacks last season and should remain the player protecting Matthew Stafford's blindside again in 2024.

Rams' Alaric Jackson: Gets second-round tender
Rotowire
The Rams tendered restricted free agent Jackson at the second-round level Tuesday, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
Jackson joined the Rams as an undrafted free agent out of Iowa in 2021, and he became a full-time starter in 2023, starting all 15 regular-season games in which he played. Revamping the offensive line and keeping it together has been an offseason priority for the Rams after they re-signed RG Kevin Dotson before then striking a free-agent deal with LG Jonah Jackson.

Rams' Alaric Jackson: Should return Tuesday
Rotowire
Jackson is expected to rejoin the Rams on Tuesday after missing Sunday's win over the Giants due to a "family situation," Greg Beacham of the Associated Press reports.
The left tackle was also questionable for the matchup with the Giants due to a thigh injury. Jackson has started all 14 games he's played in this season, and his return to the team is a positive first step toward starting again in Sunday's regular-season finale against the 49ers.

Rams' Alaric Jackson: Won't play Sunday
Rotowire
Jackson (thigh) is inactive ahead of Sunday's game against the Giants, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.
The 25-year-old offensive lineman was a late addition to the Rams' injury report, as he was a nonparticipant in Friday's practice due to a thigh injury, and it now seems as if that issue will stop him from suiting up in Week 17. Expect Joe Noteboom to fill in at left tackle in Jackson's stead.

Rams' Alaric Jackson: Active for OTAs
Rotowire
Jackson (illness) has been an active participant at the Rams' OTAs this week, Jourdan Rodrigue of the Athletic reports.
Jackson was placed on injured reserve in November after he was diagnosed with blood clots, but he appears ready to go ahead of the 2023 campaign. The offensive lineman will look to pick up where he left off at left tackle last season, impressing as an injury replacement for starter Joe Noteboom (Achilles), who he'll slot in behind again this year on the depth chart.
