NFL is expected to suspend Rams LT Alaric Jackson two games for postgame punch

Jackson punched Bills linebacker Bradley Chubb in the face on the field after the Rams' 37-34 overtime loss Monday night.

The NFL is anticipating to suspend Rams left tackle Alaric Jackson for two games following a postgame punch he delivered to Bills linebacker Bradley Chubb during Monday night's overtime loss. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that the league has not yet informed the team or the NFL Players Association about the potential suspension.

The incident occurred when Chubb allegedly made a remark to Jackson, prompting the tackle to throw a right hook at Chubb's face. The altercation was captured by ESPN cameras, showing Jackson exchanging jerseys with Bills defensive lineman Deone Walker before the punch. Chubb described the situation as "just emotions" following the game. Jackson has been a starter for all five games this season and missed only a single game last year.
