After initially being suspended four games by the NFL as a repeat offender for what the league deems illegal hits, Denver Broncos safety Kareem Jackson appealed and had his punishment reduced to a two-game suspension.
Jackson now has to stay away from the team’s facility for the next two weeks, giving him plenty of free time. The veteran safety used some of that free time to troll haters on Twitter last night (be warned that some of the tweets he responds to use colorful language).

Man the #49ers are full of guys like @ReemBoi25, they’re not even throwing flags on them but Kareem’s getting a 4 game suspension.. That’s some BS
— Kevin Sadekoski (@KevinSadekoski) October 24, 2023
An absolute joke. I find it incredibly hard to comprehend why that soft ass @nflcommish is handing out these punishments (and avoiding the show) but yet reaps the benifit of the viral clip… For a football play. Hypocricey at its finest. But yet @ReemBoi25 brought 👀 to the game

@ReemBoi25 appreciated you with Texans. Gave heart & soul.. risked you body for the game. Don't agree. NFL in the wrong here. Go 💯
— Greg (@gbrenham) October 25, 2023
They targeting you they trying to get you out of here. Its a shame I still haven’t seen a bad play from you yet. All good tackles.
NFL needs to out a Waiver form out there so they can stop with the soft ass calls.

@ReemBoi25 Your hit was clean, had you not gotten unfairly ejected, you’d be preparing to play Sunday. Priors infractions shouldn’t be used to influence ejections, especially when they can influence suspensions. pic.twitter.com/1kBVSrBYPd

They are all soft as hell anyone who's played a down of football in their life knows you were only playing the game. They say it's for player safety, but the guy you hit was shown celebrating you being ejected. Didn't seem hurt to me 🤷♂️ wonder what it's really about then
— Tom Bosley (@misterbosley) October 25, 2023
He hit him with his shoulder and hit his shoulder.
Just because it “looks” bad doesn’t mean it is. We are playing football not flag. https://t.co/2Zm3tZ5wg7

The safety clearly appreciated fans coming to his defense.

Jackson, 35, does not appear interested in changing the way he plays the game.

The safety will be eligible to return to the team ahead of their Week 11 showdown with the Minnesota Vikings on Nov. 19.
