Suspended Broncos Safety Kareem Jackson Seeks Clarity from NFL Commissioner

Jackson, facing multiple suspensions and fines, questions the league's player safety rules and treatment of players during suspension.

  • Denver Broncos safety Kareem Jackson, who has been suspended for six games this season, ejected from two others and fined $89,670 for four illegal hits, is meeting with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell to seek clarity about his suspensions and the league's player safety rules.
  • Jackson, who is the league's leader in fines and lost game checks, costing him a total of $837,000 in lost wages, feels he is being unfairly targeted and treated differently than other players.
  • He drew his second suspension for a hit on Vikings quarterback Joshua Dobbs, which he believes was a regular football play and not malicious.
  • Jackson is not allowed to go to the team's headquarters during his suspension, a rule he also intends to discuss with Goodell, as he feels it contradicts the league's advocacy for mental health.
  • Despite Jackson's absence, the Broncos have won five consecutive games, tied with the Philadelphia Eagles for the league's longest active winning streak, and have entered the playoff conversation.
