Quick Summary

Alaric Jackson, an offensive lineman for the Los Angeles Rams, had his two-game suspension reduced to one game after appealing the NFL’s initial ruling. The suspension was imposed for punching Buffalo Bills linebacker Bradley Chubb during a post-game altercation following their overtime match on Monday night at SoFi Stadium. Hearing officer Derrick Brooks agreed with the appeal and shortened the suspension, meaning Jackson will miss only the upcoming Sunday game against Arizona but will be available for the Rams’ Oct. 25 game in Las Vegas. This reduction comes after Jackson’s recent legal troubles, including an arrest for suspicion of felony domestic violence earlier this year, which could still result in additional NFL discipline.

Story summary

Los Angeles Rams offensive lineman Alaric Jackson won his appeal and will miss only one game instead of two for punching Buffalo Bills linebacker Bradley Chubb following their "Monday Night Football" game on October 10, where the Bills won 37-34 in overtime at SoFi Stadium. Initially suspended for two games by the NFL, Jackson’s suspension was reduced to just Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals. The altercation occurred after Jackson exchanged jerseys with a Bills player and then confronted Chubb near midfield, leading to Jackson striking him in the face. Veteran David Quessenberry will start as left tackle during Jackson's absence.
