Kareem Jackson, ejected again? It looks like the Denver Broncos‘ safety has a fondness for the sidelines over the spotlight! He’s become a real maverick in the league. This time, he delivered an illegal hit on Green Bay Packers‘ tight-end Luke Musgrave, who’s now on the ‘maybe’ list for a comeback. Jackson’s NFL wallet has already shed over $89,600 this season, thanks to four fines for his hard-hitting tendencies.
And don’t forget that Week 2 showdown against the Washington Commanders, where he also got the early exit. On the flip side, Musgrave left the field with an announced ankle issue. It’s safe to say things are heating up in the NFL!

With 14:10 left in the game, the 14th-year safety lowered his shoulder, delivering a head-spinning hit to Packers’ tight end Luke Musgrave right after his 18-yard grab. It was an instant ‘flag and farewell’ moment as Jackson got the boot right in front of the Packers’ sidelines. Musgrave, unfortunately, seems to be on a ‘two weeks, two injuries‘ streak, as he’s recovering from a concussion last week.
Broncos DB Kareem Jackson’s already accrued nearly six figures in fines this year, and just got tossed for a high hit on Packers TE Luke Musgrave. Good bet he hears from the league again this week.

Social media’s very own detective, Albert Breer, went all ‘X-Files‘ on us, sharing the moment when Jackson’s world collided with Musgrave’s. He dubbed it, “Broncos DB Kareem Jackson’s already accrued nearly six figures in fines this year, and just got tossed for a high hit on Packers TE Luke Musgrave. Good bet he hears from the league again this week.”
In a twist of fate, the league laid down the law just the day before, stating that two unsportsmanlike conduct penalties will earn you a one-way ticket out of the game. Jackson’s been quite vocal about his intentions this season, claiming he’s all about ‘bang-bang‘ plays without any injury on the menu. However, the NFL and its fan base, well, they’re not tossing confetti in his honor for this recent blunder. They’ve got plenty to say. Let’s dive into what’s cooking in the gridiron gossip pot!
