Rams Suspend Alaric Jackson 2 Games, Turn to David Quessenberry at Left Tackle

Summary
David Quessenberry, 36, will replace Alaric Jackson at left tackle Sunday against Arizona after the NFL suspended Jackson two games for punching a Bills player postgame.
The suspension stems from Jackson striking Buffalo linebacker Bradley Chubb after the Rams' 37-34 overtime loss, a violation of the league's sportsmanship rule that Jackson can still appeal.
Sean McVay also opened the 21-day return window for rookie tackle Keagan Trost, giving Los Angeles another option with Jackson set to miss Arizona and likely Las Vegas.
The roster shuffle extended to special teams: the Rams cut kicker Harrison Mevis after he went 5 of 9 this season and signed Blake Grupe from the Jets' practice squad.
Jackson's absence hits an offensive line that has allowed only 7 sacks, while reviving scrutiny over his second suspension after a separate two-game ban in 2024.
