  "account": "Los Angeles Rams offensive lineman Alaric Jackson will miss only one game instead of two, according to an appeal <source 882c6583-a05>. Initially suspended for two games after sucker punching Buffalo Bills linebacker Bradley Chubb following a Monday night loss, Jackson's punishment was reduced on Wednesday. The NFL did not share details on the appeal; however, it is speculated that evidence of provocation from Chubb played a role. If not, the league's response seems indifferent to incidents that would be considered assault outside of a football game. Jackson will miss his team's Week 6 game against the Arizona Cardinals, resulting in a loss of $934,555 from his $16.822 million base salary for 2026. Chubb was not penalized for his actions, though icing his face was likely uncomfortable.",
