The 35-year-old veteran received this penalty because he was sent off in a second game this season. During his seventh week of action, he smashed a Green Bay Packers pass receiver and was shown the exit door. Jackson also saw his Week 2 game against the Washington Commanders end early because of an illegal hit on Logan Thomas.
Because of his multiple dangerous actions, Jackson will serve a four-game suspension without pay, the NFL confirmed Monday evening.
