BREAKING: Rams’ Alaric Jackson Faces Bombshell Lawsuit: McVay Drops Shocking Revelation!

By Owen Crisafulli | November 14, 2025

LOS ANGELES, CA — The Los Angeles Rams are about to be hit by a bombshell that could change the course of their season — and it has nothing to do with their play on the field. Alaric Jackson, the Rams’ key starting left tackle, has found himself embroiled in a scandal that’s sending shockwaves through the NFL. A lawsuit was filed on Thursday alleging Jackson secretly filmed a woman during a private encounter — and now the Rams are scrambling to address the potential fallout.

McVay's Jaw-Dropping Response to Lawsuit

In an exclusive statement, Rams head coach Sean McVay revealed he was “shocked” by the legal drama surrounding Jackson, calling it “the most bizarre situation I’ve ever dealt with.” McVay, typically calm under pressure, couldn’t hide his concern as he told reporters: "This isn't just a legal issue, this is personal. I can’t talk about everything, but this is something we’ve been forced to handle privately. Let’s just say, not everything is as it seems." The comment left many wondering if there was more to this story than meets the eye.

Rams' Star Tackle Under Fire — Will He Be Sidelined for Week 11?

Despite the lawsuit, McVay hinted that Jackson will still start in Week 11 against the Seattle Seahawks, one of the most important games of the season. But insiders suggest the decision might not be that simple. “If Jackson is distracted or this lawsuit affects him mentally, it could be catastrophic for the team,” an anonymous source close to the Rams told us. “Seattle’s defense could eat him alive if his head's not in the game.”

Jackson, who signed a massive $57 million extension earlier this year, has been one of the league’s most reliable linemen, but this off-field mess raises serious questions about his future in Los Angeles. And fans are starting to wonder: will McVay’s faith in Jackson cost the Rams a chance at the playoffs?

The Truth Behind the Scandal — What We Know So Far

The lawsuit against Jackson alleges that he secretly filmed a woman during a private moment and later taunted her with the video. The incident comes just a year after Jackson was suspended for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy. Now, with this new bombshell, could Jackson face even more severe punishment? The NFL has remained tight-lipped, but rumors are swirling that the league may step in again — and Jackson’s future in the league could be on the line.

Is Alaric Jackson’s Career in Jeopardy?

Sources close to the situation claim Jackson is “absolutely shaken” by the legal battle and that his future with the Rams is uncertain. Will the team stick by their star lineman, or is this the beginning of the end for his career in Los Angeles?

The Rams have yet to make any further comments, but the situation continues to unfold. Could this scandal be the secret weapon Seattle needs to knock the Rams out of playoff contention?

The NFL world is watching. Stay tuned.

Key Lions returns set to make a playoff push a lot easier

Detroit is getting healthier, for sure, but it's going to be a waiting game for fans.

Marcus Davenport and D.J. Reed have been sorely missed in the Detroit Lions' starting lineup. The Lions' pass rushing and secondary have suffered the most this season, although not to the detriment of the team's record. They're atop the NFC North at 6-3 ahead of Week 11, just waiting to get healthier ahead of a big December push.

The practice window was started for both Davenport and Reed ahead of the Lions' game against the Philadelphia Eagles, meaning the team expects to get them back within the next 21 days. It's unlikely that they both play right away, but with a few key NFC games coming up for Detroit, it's better to let them get back up to speed before throwing them back out there against top competition.

Until then, Detroit continues to plug the holes left by the two defenders, and to some decent success.

Lions set to get back two key returns, likely ahead of Packers game

While it's unclear when either will be back on the field, Reed seems more than motivated to help out the Lions - especially since they will probably be without Terrion Arnold for Sunday Night Football.

"Me, I'm a gamer, so I’m ready, but that’s not my call. Obviously, they’re going to be smart about it, but if you ask me, I’m ready to play. That’s just my mindset," 

said Reed about his readiness, according to Will Burchfield of 97.1 FM.

Reed would be a huge addition to the Lions' secondary alongside Brian Branch, as it currently looks like the team is going to trot out their Legion of Whom against Philadelphia. While they are the most recent Super Bowl champions, the Eagles aren't the most formidable foe the Lions have coming up.

So, it would make sense if they decide to keep Reed and Davenport at bay until they're 100 percent ready to go against the Green Bay Packers, for example. That's the team's biggest November contest by far.

Davenport, on the other hand, could help to add back some firepower behind Al-Quadin Muhammad, Tyrus Wheat, and Tyler Lacy. They've been more than serviceable next to Aidan Hutchinson, but the Lions clearly still need someone to get after the quarterback at a higher rate aside from Hutchinson.

A healthy defense could be the difference maker for Detroit as they charge towards capturing the 1 seed. Without a pass rush attack and a shutdown secondary, the Lions will be far too reliant on an offense that lives and dies by their offensive line, another unhealthy and questionable part of their team.
