Alaric Jackson suspended 2 games for punching Bradley Chubb, per report

The NFL has suspended Los Angeles Rams offensive lineman Alaric Jackson for two games without pay, for punching Buffalo Bills pass rusher Bradley Chubb during Monday night's game between the two teams, according to a new report. Following a chaotic match where the Bills emerged victorious with a final score of 37-34, players from both sides gathered at midfield for the customary post-game handshakes and jersey exchanges.

Amidst the commotion, a verbal altercation between Jackson and Chubb escalated, leading Jackson to confront Chubb and deliver a swift right to the jaw. Chubb, who initially walked away from Jackson, stated he "just chilled" after the punch, explaining that his teammates held him back and he remained composed. The Rams' loss dropped their season record to 2-3, with the team set to face the Arizona Cardinals and Las Vegas Raiders in their upcoming matches.

This is not the first time Jackson has faced disciplinary action from the league; he was suspended for two games in 2024 for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy, following a lawsuit alleging he recorded a woman without her consent during a sexual encounter. Additionally, Jackson was arrested in June of 2026 on suspicion of felony domestic violence, though no criminal charges were filed and the matter was referred to a pre-filing diversion program.
