What happened: The NFL suspended Los Angeles Rams left tackle Alaric Jackson two games without pay Tuesday for punching Buffalo Bills linebacker Bradley Chubb after Monday night's game at SoFi Stadium. The incident occurred on the field as players talked and exchanged jerseys following Buffalo's 37-34 overtime win. The league cited Rule 12, Section 3, Article 1 covering sportsmanship, and Jackson can appeal.

Why it matters: The absence removes Matthew Stafford's blind-side starter for Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals and Oct. 25 against the Las Vegas Raiders. Veteran David Quessenberry could start in Jackson's place or Warren Mcclendon Jr. could shift to the left side. It is Jackson's second two-game suspension after sitting out the first two games in 2024 for a personal-conduct violation.

What to watch: Watch whether Jackson appeals before Sunday and who lines up at left tackle against Arizona.
