The NFL announced Monday that Broncos cornerback Kareem Jackson would be suspended for four games following an illegal hit during Sunday night’s game against the Vikings.
This marks the second suspension this season for Jackson, who was previously suspended for four games after Denver’s Week 7 tilt against the Packers, but had the ban reduced to two games on appeal. He was also ejected for an illegal hit in Week 2 against the Commanders.
The play in question occurred early into the first quarter of the Broncos’ win over Minnesota when the 35-year-old hit quarterback Josh Dobbs while leading with the crown of his helmet. Officials did not flag Jackson on the play.
