Rams’ Alaric Jackson suspended two games for punching Bills player

The NFL has suspended Los Angeles Rams left tackle Alaric Jackson for two games without pay for punching Buffalo Bills linebacker Bradley Chubb. The postgame altercation occurred on the field following the Rams' 37-34 overtime loss to the Bills at SoFi Stadium. Jackson violated the league's sportsmanship policy and has the option to appeal the decision.

Jackson's absence impacts the Rams' upcoming matchups against the Arizona Cardinals and the Las Vegas Raiders. Rams coach Sean McVay may start veteran David Quessenberry or reposition right tackle Warren McClendon Jr. to cover Jackson's spot. This marks Jackson's second NFL suspension, following a two-game ban in 2024 for violating the personal conduct policy.
