NFL keeps Puka Nacua, Alaric Jackson cases under review

Rams faced a 6 p.m. ET deadline to reach 53 players

Wire Report IntelligenceUpdated Aug 301 min read

What happened: The NFL said no additional players would join Josh Jacobs on the commissioner exempt list Sunday. Adam Schefter said potential discipline for Puka Nacua and Alaric Jackson remains unresolved and could affect the start of the season.

Why it matters: Los Angeles had to finalize its initial roster without an answer on two key players. Any suspension would disrupt preparations for the opener against the San Francisco 49ers.

By the numbers: A suspension would be Jackson's second under the NFL's personal conduct policy.

What to watch: The next checkpoint is whether the NFL acts before Los Angeles begins final preparations for its Sept. 10 opener.
