's return to Los Angeles is essentially over before we've even

reached the midway factor of the season. The Rams and Jackson have mutually consented to look for a trade companion, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport and NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reported. Rams coach Sean McVay verified the news later on Friday, including Los Angeles will keep Jackson sidelined in order to protect his accessibility to be traded.

"We are enabling him to be able to explore some choices for himself," McVay described. "As a result of that we won't have him, he will not play this weekend break.

"I believe what it comes down to is chances that I assume he's deserving of as well as the situation and also a few of the circumstances around it."

Jackson blew up for 120 yards as well as a touchdown on 3 functions in Los Angeles' Week 3 win over the safeguarding champion Tampa bay Bay Buccaneers, however he's mainly been quiet (otherwise absent totally) ever since. Jackson has 221 obtaining lawns, however just eight catches on the year. He's seen simply 15 targets via seven games, and also he's played much less than 40 percent of the Rams' offensive breaks in every game thus far.

Simply, Jackson isn't seeing the area sufficient to make a difference. As his 75-yard rating in Week 3 showed, he's still great for a couple of large plays, yet needs to be available to make them. With NFL receiving leader, as well as likewise involved, Jackson has actually been primarily ejected, and he doesn't want to invest the twilight of his job on the sideline.

"He's a significant player that has a wonderful record and resume, and also I assume all the situations bordering that, that wish to have the ability to be broad-minded, this hasn't exactly been possibly what he imagined," McVay said. "I assume he is entitled to a chance to be able to see if there's better options around for him and that's where we're at."

There are better choices around, no question. Green Bay immediately enters your mind after the Packers were required to boost a practice squad member to play in Thursday evening's gain the Arizona Cardinals, and also it's not the only destination. Just how that exercises stays to be seen, yet it appears Jackson's 2nd homecoming in as several years-- his first being a return to Philly prior to joining either teams located in his home town of Los Angeles-- isn't mosting likely to play out as he might, as McVay claimed, envisioned.

We'll see where Jackson lands next.
