Summary
Los Angeles prosecutors declined to file charges against Rams left tackle Alaric Jackson after his June 9 domestic-violence arrest, and the city attorney also passed on misdemeanor counts.
Police said the 27-year-old allegedly struggled with his pregnant girlfriend over a cellphone after believing she was secretly recording him, leaving scratch marks on her arm; he was later released on $50,000 bond.
The girlfriend has since dismissed a temporary restraining order, but the NFL is still conducting its own Personal Conduct Policy investigation and could suspend Jackson before the season.
Jackson signed a three-year, $57 million extension last year, and the case revived scrutiny because he was previously suspended over secretly recording a woman during a sexual encounter; that federal lawsuit was settled and dismissed in April.
