The 27-year-old’s probation violation, according to the hearing notice, was his failure to attend or successfully complete the "Brains at Risk" program as well as failure to pay a $300 fine.
The "Brains at Risk" program is "an awareness and prevention program by the Brain Injury Association of Massachusetts," which "links dangerous driving behaviors to the devastating effects of traumatic brain injury."

Jackson was a healthy scratch by the Chargers on Sunday in their win over the Minnesota Vikings. However, the Chargers say that Jackson’s warrant had nothing to do with being sidelined in Minneapolis, per The Athletic.
It was a shock to see Jackson benched, however, as he signed a five-year, $82.5 million contract in free agency with Los Angeles in 2022.
