Los Angeles Rams offensive lineman Alaric Jackson will serve a one-game suspension rather than the originally mandated two-game ban. The league’s decision follows an appeal process initiated after Jackson was disciplined for an on-field incident involving Miami Dolphins linebacker Bradley Chubb. The altercation occurred immediately following the conclusion of the Rams' Monday night game against the Dolphins.

While the league has not released a detailed transcript of the appeal hearing, the reduction suggests that the league office found grounds to mitigate the initial punishment. Jackson will now be eligible to return to the Rams' active roster sooner than initially expected. The incident, which involved Jackson striking Chubb, drew significant scrutiny from league officials tasked with enforcing player conduct policies. The Rams organization has not issued a formal statement regarding the specific arguments used during the appeal, but the team will now have to adjust its roster planning for the upcoming week accordingly. The reduction marks a notable shift in the disciplinary outcome for a player involved in a high-profile post-game physical confrontation.
