Rams offensive tackle Alaric Jackson had his reduced suspension to a match on appeal on Wednesday. He will be on unpaid leave Sunday when the Rams play the Cardinals.
Bills passer Bradley Chubb, who was punched by Jackson after Monday night’s game, said he learned a valuable lesson from the incident.
“Personally, I learned that I would either raise my hands or wear a helmet” Chubb said, via ESPN’s Nick Suss.
Chubb admitted to initiating the conversation between the two men after the Bills’ 37-34 overtime victory.
“I’ll tell you exactly what I said,” Chubb said at the practice facility on the UC Irvine campus, where the Bills are practicing this week. “I heard I was talking about his mother. That’s not true at all. I said, ‘We’re going to see you all again, and when we see you again, all these shards won’t save you. This tight body and this guard won’t save you.’ He said, “What did you say?” I said, “This flea isn’t going to save you.” The guard is not going to save you. And then boom.
Chubb, who hasn’t heard from Jackson since the punch, said he was proud he didn’t retaliate and imposed a suspension himself.
If the teams play again this season, it will be in the Super Bowl at SoFi Stadium in February.
