Summary
Two games without pay will sideline Rams left tackle Alaric Jackson after the NFL said he violated its sportsmanship rule by punching Bills linebacker Bradley Chubb following Los Angeles' 37-34 overtime loss Monday night.
ESPN video showed Jackson, already out of his pads and jersey, walk toward Chubb near midfield after an exchange and throw a right-handed punch before tight end Colby Parkinson pulled him away.
Sean McVay said Jackson is expected to appeal, but if the suspension stands David Quessenberry would start against Arizona in Week 6 and Las Vegas in Week 7.
Chubb called it an emotional moment after a close game and said, "they always catch the second guy," while McVay said Jackson must make better decisions and remain available.
Jackson was previously suspended for two games in 2024 for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy.
