Jonah Jackson

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Rams LG Jonah Jackson suffered a bruised scapula and is expected to miss the preseason.

Per Schefter, Jackson “has a chance to return for the start of the regular season.” He was spotted at practice with a sling around his left arm on Wednesday. The Rams signed Jackson to a three-year, $51 million contract in the offseason. Though this isn’t a disastrous outcome, it’s not the news Sean McVay wants as he looks to center his offense around an elite passing attack headlined by one of the league’s best duos in Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp. As long as Jackson is back early in the season, this injury shouldn’t slow down the Rams’ offense too much.
