Kareem Jackson entered Sunday having been fined almost $90,000 in 2023.
The Broncos defensive back will almost certainly be fined for a fifth time in seven weeks after being ejected following a brutal helmet-first hit to Packers tight end Luke Musgrave on Sunday during the Broncos’ 19-17 win.Musgrave caught a pass from Jordan Love, and when he tried to turn up field Jackson leveled him with a helmet-first smash.
Jackson’s helmet hit both Musgrave’s shoulder and helmet, with the tight end’s head whipping backwards while he fell to the turf.The referees flagged Jackson for unnecessary roughness on the play, and then ejected him from the game.CBS rules analyst Gene Steratore agreed with the call. “Even though this is a catch and he gets two feet, even three feet down, this receiver never gets a chance to protect himself, so he’s defenseless,” Steratore said.
“When these plays happen with the level of severity we just witnessed, New York will get involved, take a look at that. New York will weigh in on that and communicate with the officials. If they didn’t deem it to be ejectable, New York can assist them in that. They evidently did on this, and by this severity of the foul I agree with the fact they ejected him on this play.
