Rams’ Alaric Jackson suspension reduced to one game
The NFL reduced Rams left tackle Alaric Jackson’s suspension from two games to one after his appeal of the punishment for punching Buffalo linebacker Bradley Chubb after Monday’s overtime game. Jackson will miss only Los Angeles’ Week 6 matchup with Arizona, with David Quessenberry starting in his place. The league said the punch violated its sportsmanship rule.
