NFL hearing officer Derrick Brooks has reduced the suspension of Los Angeles Rams tackle Alaric Jackson from two games to one. This decision follows an incident on Monday night after the Buffalo Bills’ 37-34 overtime victory against the Rams at SoFi Stadium.
Alaric Jackson engaged with Buffalo Bills edge rusher Bradley Chubb postgame. After discarding his jersey and shoulder pads, Jackson approached Chubb, striking him. Jackson later stated that Chubb had made demeaning comments about his mother during the game, but Chubb chose not to retaliate.
The appeal’s success lessens Jackson’s financial loss. With his base salary at $16.8 million, he saves approximately $934,555 by reducing his lost pay from two to one game check. Jackson will serve the one-game suspension during the Rams’ match against the Arizona Cardinals, returning in Week 7 against the Las Vegas Raiders.
A statement regarding the suspension mentioned Jackson’s action violated Rule 12, Section 3, Article 1 concerning sportsmanship. The rule addresses actions contrary to understood sportsmanship principles. Jackson’s history includes a previous two-game suspension in 2024 under the Personal Conduct Policy and a diversion program entry following his arrest on suspicion of domestic violence.
