Alaric Jackson health Update

"I have blood clots," said Rams offensive linemen Alaric Jackson. "A lot of blood with a lot of testing has been done in the past few months. Just trying to get a feel for everything for the most part, as far as my blood cloth and how it goes overall. Besides that just been doing testing. Listening to coaches and doctors, and yeah, that is pretty much it ... Just listened to Reggie, Dr. Maul, Steven Tabson, Casey Batten, just listening to guys, staying on my treatment."

"I was kind of in shock for a while. I was on the football team. That was more for me. Now we have like a good plan ahead of us. I am in a good space about it now, overall. I do not know about retirement, but done with football for a little bit at least.

Jackson ready for Week 1

"It is a blessing for sure. Coming here at 21, being undrafted, you know, earn a contract, and then boom, football's known for a little bit. So definitely a blessing for sure. I know because of the doctors. Good testing, so good so far. It was tough at first ... From there to now, it has been an up-and-down roller coaster. I am going to play, I am not going to play. And now that I am here, it is a great thing."
