Kareem Jackson of the Denver Broncos will serve a four-game suspension for a hit on Minnesota Vikings quarterback Josh Dobbs that went unflagged during their Sunday Night Football matchup. The league's decision is partly due to Jackson's history of similar offenses, including a previous four-game suspension earlier in the season for multiple infractions.
Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Jackson intends to appeal the decision. He previously managed to reduce a similar suspension from four games to two after an appeal. However, given this is his second suspension for related offenses this season, a reduction may be less likely.
Jackson's continued pattern of illegal hits has drawn the league's attention, suggesting that further incidents could jeopardize his career in the NFL.
