Rams left tackle Alaric Jackson’s suspension for punching a Buffalo Bills player after a game has been reduced from two games to one, an NFL spokesman said Wednesday.
Jackson was suspended for striking Bills linebacker Bradley Chubb in the face after the Bills defeated the Rams, 37-34, in overtime on Monday night.
Jackson appealed the suspension.
“Hearing officer Derrick Brooks, jointly appointed by the NFL and the NFLPA, has reduced the two game suspension of Los Angeles Rams offensive lineman Alaric Jackson to one game,” Michael Signora, the NFL’s senior vice president of football and international communications, said on social media.
Jackson must sit out Sunday’s game against the Arizona Cardinals but is eligible to return for an Oct. 25 game against the Las Vegas Raiders.
David Quessenberry is on track to start in place of Jackson, coach Sean McVay said Tuesday.
The Rams also will start the 21-day window for rookie Keagen Trost to return from injured reserve.
The post Rams’ Alaric Jackson has suspension reduced to one game appeared first on Los Angeles Times.
