The Los Angeles Rams took a big hit along their offensive line just a few weeks before the start of the regular season.

Offensive tackle Alaric Jackson has been suspended without pay for the first two games of the regular season for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy, the league announced Friday.

Jackson started 15 games at tackle for the Rams last season. He’s penciled in as a starter this season but will have to sit out the first two contests.

The Rams’ first two games are on the road against the Detroit Lions and Arizona Cardinals. Jackson is eligible for reinstatement after the Rams’ Week 2 game against Arizona.  

The Rams host the San Francisco 49ers in Week 3.
