Los Angeles Rams left tackle Alaric Jackson will not face criminal charges stemming from his June arrest, Helen Jeong and Dennis Broad of NBC4 Los Angeles reported Thursday. The case remains open, but the Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office said Jackson could instead attend a pre-trial diversion class, pay restitution or perform community service in lieu of charges.

Jackson was arrested in June on suspicion of domestic battery. It was already known that no felony charge would be filed; the city attorney’s decision now closes off misdemeanor charges as well, leaving the legal side of the matter largely resolved.

The league side is not. The NFL’s standard practice is to hold its own review until legal proceedings have run their course, and a fine or suspension under the personal conduct policy remains possible without a conviction, as Pro Football Rumors’ Adam La Rose noted in relaying the report. That history is relevant here: Jackson served a two-game suspension under the same policy in 2024.

The football stakes are straightforward. Jackson, who turns 28 next month, has made 51 starts for the Rams since arriving as an undrafted free agent and is entering the final year of his contract, with $19.43 million owed for 2026, per Pro Football Rumors. He is the projected blindside starter on a team that spent its offseason trading for Myles Garrett and Trent McDuffie and is being priced as a Super Bowl favorite — a roster built to win now, with little margin for losing its left tackle in September. With right tackle already turning over following Rob Havenstein‘s retirement, any missed time from Jackson would leave the Rams breaking in two new tackles in front of Matthew Stafford.

When camp opens later this month, the question that follows Jackson will no longer be a legal one. It will be whether the league office sees grounds for discipline, and how long that review takes. For a team with this year circled, that timeline matters as much as the outcome.
