Broncos’ Kareem Jackson Ejected For Second Time This Season After Illegal Hit

During the Denver Broncos’ 19-17 win against the Green Bay Packers, safety Kareem Jackson was ejected from the match.  

With 13 minutes and 49 seconds left, Jackson was ejected for a sideline hit against tight end Luke Musgave.

Musgave caught an 18-yard pass from Jordan Love with linebacker Alex Singleton closing it, Jackson then knocked Musgave to the turf, appearing to use the crown of his helmet after two flags were thrown.

Referee Alex Kemp announced that Jackson had been ejected.

This is the second time Jackson has been ejected from a game this season, as he was ejected during a Week 2 loss to the Washington Commanders.

He has also been fined four times for a total of $89,670. 

Several of his teammates have commented on the ejection.

“It’s tough…From what I heard, it was a bang-bang play,” cornerback Patrick Surtain II said. “Football is a physical game whether you like it or not. It’s just unfortunate. Kareem is a tremendous player. He doesn’t do things intentionally…It would be a big blow, obviously, to lose a guy like Kareem.”

Broncos coach Sean Payton believes that Jackson’s prior disciplinary issues contributed to the ejection.

“I think it’s difficult to make these calls sometimes,” he said. “I think what’s difficult for Kareem is he’s got some priors. You get pulled over and you’ve had four or five speeding violations, you’re going to spend a little bit more time on the side of the road than if you didn’t have any.”

The Broncos (2-5) will host the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday.
