Denver Broncos safety Kareem Jackson's four-game unnecessary roughness suspension reduced
View Date:2024-12-23 21:05:54
Denver Broncos safety Kareem Jackson will have his suspension reduced after an appeal.
After Jackson was handed a four-game suspension by the NFL on Monday, hearing officer Derrick Brooks reduced the ban to two games, NFL spokesperson Michael Signora announced. The reduced suspension mean Jackson is eligible to return to the roster on Nov. 14, the start of Week 11.
The two-game suspension means Jackson will miss the Broncos' home game against the Kansas City Chiefs this week, and the team will be on a bye next week. After that, the last game Jackson will miss is the "Monday Night Football" contest against the Buffalo Bills.
The suspension came after the safety was ejected during Denver’s 19-17 win for his sideline hit on Green Bay Packers tight end Luke Musgrave. The suspension, without pay, was for violations of unnecessary roughness rules. The first-round pick in the 2010 NFL draft had been flagged for multiple personal foul calls this season. In Week 2, he was ejected for a hit Washington Commanders tight end Logan Thomas, and has been fined four times this year for unnecessary roughness.
Jackson has started all seven games for the Broncos this season, and has been a primary member of the secondary since 2019. He has 42 tackles, two interceptions and three pass deflections this year. He spent the first nine seasons of his career as a member of the Houston Texans. In total, Jackson has 943 tackles, 22 interceptions and 110 pass deflections in 200 career regular-season games.
