The NFL fined Bradley Chubb $14,329 for taunting. Alaric Jackson’s suspension was reduced to one game on appeal, costi Via @TomPelissero on X

What happened: An appeal trimmed Los Angeles Rams left tackle Alaric Jackson's unpaid suspension from two games down to one, per Tom Pelissero. The league also assessed Buffalo Bills edge rusher Bradley Chubb a $14,329 fine for taunting stemming from their postgame confrontation following Buffalo's overtime win on Monday night.

Why it matters: Halving the initial two-game ban limits the absence for a six-year veteran anchor on the Los Angeles offensive line during the 2026 regular season. Jackson still forfeits a single game check valued at close to $1 million while serving the discipline.

By the numbers: Jackson's appeal cuts his unpaid absence from 2 games to 1 game, costing him nearly $1 million in forfeited salary, while Chubb's taunting penalty totals $14,329.

What to watch: Los Angeles will adjust its left tackle rotation for Sunday's regular-season matchup against the Arizona Cardinals before Jackson becomes eligible to return.
