The Denver Broncos have been hit with a major blow as their star cornerback, Kareem Jackson, has been suspended for four games following an illegal hit on a defenseless player. This suspension comes after Jackson was previously suspended for a separate incident earlier this season.
Jackson was suspended for the hit on a defenseless player in the Broncos’ Week 8 game against the Indianapolis Colts. He was penalized for unnecessary roughness on the play and was ejected from the game. After further review, the NFL decided to suspend Jackson for four games.
This suspension is especially concerning for the Broncos because it is Jackson’s second suspension of the season. He was previously suspended for one game in Week 5 for an illegal hit on a defenseless player. This means that Jackson will miss five games this season due to suspensions.
The Broncos are in a difficult position with Jackson’s suspensions. On one hand, they need him on the field to help their defense, but on the other hand, they need to send a message that illegal hits will not be tolerated.
It remains to be seen how the Broncos will handle Jackson’s suspension and if he will be able to return to the field this season. In the meantime, the Broncos will have to rely on their other defensive backs to fill the void left by Jackson’s absence.
