The Los Angeles Rams are taking on the New York Giants today in a pivotal Week 17 matchup that has massive playoff implications for the Rams. A win over the Giants and loss by the Seattle Seahawks today will punch the Rams’ ticket to the playoffs.
Unfortunately, the Rams will be without their starting left tackle Alaric Jackson, who has been ruled out due to personal reasons. Joe Noteboom is active despite being listed as questionable, so he’ll get the start at left tackle in Jackson’s place.
Ernest Jones and Puka Nacua are also active after being questionable to play. Their statuses were never really in doubt, with Sean McVay saying Friday that he expected both to be available. Nacua had some hip tightness and Jones came down with an illness Friday.
Below is the full list of inactives for the Rams.
Rams inactives: OL Alaric Jackson, CB Tre Tomlinson, RB Zach Evans, OLB Ochaun Mathis and DL Earnest Brown IV
