Watch: Broncos' Kareem Jackson ejected again, keeps delivering dirty hits

By Adam Gretz | Last updated 10/22/23

The NFL keeps trying to send a message to Denver Broncos defensive back Kareem Jackson and he is either unwilling or unable to receive it.

Jackson was ejected for the second time this season for delivering a hit to the head of a wide receiver, adding to his lengthy list of ejections and fines for reckless play.

Here is a look at the play that resulted in his ejection as he hit Green Bay Packers tight end Luke Musgrave.

Jackson was also ejected in the Broncos' Week 2 loss to the Washington Commanders.

Along with the two ejections, he has also been fined four times this season for unnecessary roughness and illegal hits. The latest was just announced on Saturday when he was hit with a $43,709 fine for his latest infraction.

Overall he has already accumulated over $89K in fines this season. That number is almost certain to rise after this play.

The question now is whether or not the NFL stops hitting him with a slap on the wrist and actually suspends him. At some point the league has to realize that fines and ejections are not accomplishing what they want. A stiffer punishment seems necessary and appropriate at this point.
