DENVER (KDVR) – Denver Broncos security Kareem Jackson has been suspended for the second time this season after reducing his helmet in a hit on Vikings quarterback Josh Dobbs Sunday night time.
The hit wasn’t flagged throughout the sport, however broadcast announcers did level out the hit after it occurred.
This suspension was introduced as a four-game suspension, as was his prior suspension, though that was diminished to 2 video games on attraction.
In a letter saying the suspension, NFL Vice President of Soccer Operations Jon Runyan stated, “On the play in query, you lowered your head and delivered a forceful blow to the shoulder and head/neck space of an opponent if you had time and area to keep away from such contact. You would have made contact together with your opponent inside the guidelines, but you selected to not.
Broncos head coach Sean Payton was requested concerning the hit in a information convention Monday morning and stated “it’s a wait-and-see” state of affairs.
The Broncos host the Cleveland Browns on Sunday in a sport airing on FOX31. If this four-game suspension is upheld, Jackson will miss that sport in addition to matchups towards the Texans, Chargers and Lions.
