The NFL suspended Denver Broncos safety Kareem Jackson for four games on Monday following his second ejection of the season in Sunday's win over the Green Bay Packers.
Denver Broncos safety Kareem Jackson reacts to be disqualified from the game against the Green Bay Packers during an NFL football game Sunday, Oct. 22, 2023, in Denver. Jackson has been flagged three times and ejected twice this season for illegal high hits on opposing receivers. NFL vice president of football operations Jon Runyan issued the suspension alongside a statement to Jackson addressing Sunday's hit on Packers tight end Luke Musgrave.
"On the play in question, you delivered a forceful blow to the head/neck area of a defenseless receiver, when you had the time and space to avoid such contact," Runyan's statement reads."You could have made contact with your opponent within the rules, yet you chose not to." The play in question took place in the second half of Denver's 19-17 win when Musgrove caught a pass from Jordan Love. As Musgrave came down with the ball, Jackson lowered his head and dove for the hit. Musgrave's head violently snapped back as he hit the ground.
