Rams starting left tackle Alaric Jackson popped up on the injury report Friday with a thigh injury, causing him to be listed as questionable to play against the Giants. The Rams announced on Sunday that Jackson won’t play, but it’s not because of his injury.
According to the team, Jackson is out today against the Giants due to personal reasons. No further information has been disclosed, but Los Angeles will now be without its starting left tackle in New York.
His backup, Joe Noteboom, is also questionable to play, though he was active last week against the Saints despite dealing with a foot injury.
