Denver Broncos veteran safety Kareem Jackson has been suspended for four games without pay over his latest violation of the league's unnecessary roughness rules. Jackson was ejected for the second time this season when he hit Packers tight end Luke Musgrave in the head during Denver's 19-17 win Sunday.
Denver Broncos safety Kareem Jackson reacts to being disqualified from the game after a hit on Green Bay Packers tight end Luke Musgrave during the second half of an NFL football game in Denver, Sunday, Oct. 22, 2023. Green Bay Packers tight end Luke Musgrave, rear, is hit by Denver Broncos safety Kareem Jackson during the second half of an NFL football game in Denver, Sunday, Oct. 22, 2023. Jackson was penalized for the hit and disqualified from the game after the play.
In a letter to Jackson, Runyan wrote, “you delivered a forceful blow to the head/neck area of a defenseless receiver, when you had the time and space to avoid such contact. You could have made contact with your opponent within the rules, yet you chose not to.” Jackson, who signed a one-year, $2.515 million contract with the Broncos last spring to return for a 14th NFL season, lost his starting job to Caden Sterns in training camp. But Sterns suffered a knee injury on his second snap in the opener, and Jackson returned to the starting lineup.
Before the suspension was announced, Broncos coach Sean Payton reiterated that he didn’t believe Jackson was playing dirty or trying to hurt opponents.
