Los Angeles Rams offensive lineman Alaric Jackson had his two-game suspension for punching a Buffalo Bills player reduced to one game after appealing the initial decision. The NFL hearing officer, Derrick Brooks, a joint appointee of the NFL and NFLPA, made the ruling. Jackson was disciplined without pay for striking Buffalo linebacker Bradley Chubb in the face during an overtime game on Monday night.
He won't play in the Rams' game against Arizona on Sunday, but will be eligible for the Oct. 25 game in Las Vegas. David Quessenberry will take Jackson's spot as the Rams' starting left tackle against the Cardinals. The altercation occurred after Jackson and Chubb exchanged words, and Jackson followed Chubb after their exchange, leading to the punch.
Jackson's teammates quickly separated them, but the trouble continued. Jackson was arrested in June on suspicion of felony domestic violence following a confrontation with a woman at his home. He is also facing a lawsuit for allegedly recording sexual acts without consent, a matter that led to his suspension for the first two games of the 2024 season.
Jackson, a dual citizen of Canada and the United States, has been with the Rams for a long time and won a Super Bowl ring in 2022.
