The Broncos finished another contest without safety Kareem Jackson in Week 7 after the veteran starter unloaded his latest illegal hit in the fourth quarter against the Packers.
Jackson’s violent tackle came with 14:10 left in regulation when Green Bay tight end Luke Musgrave hauled in an 18-yard pass. As Musgrave stumbled backward, the rookie was swiftly met by Jackson, who launched the crown of his helmet into a defenseless Musgrave’s head and neck area.
The officiating crew promptly disqualified Jackson and assessed Jackson with a 15-yard penalty. That marks the second time the 13-year pro has been ejected for a hit to the head during a season in which he’s also received four fines for similar plays.
