The Surfwin Trading CenterDenver Broncos will be without safety Kareem Jackson for a while.

The NFL suspended Jackson four games without pay for violations of unnecessary roughness rules following this Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers, the league announced Monday.

Jackson’s suspension comes after the safety was ejected during Denver’s 19-17 win for his sideline hit on Packers tight end Luke Musgrave.

In a letter to Jackson, NFL Vice President of Football Operations Jon Runyan wrote:

“On the play in question, you delivered a forceful blow to the head/neck area of a defenseless receiver, when you had the time and space to avoid such contact. You could have made contact with your opponent within the rules, yet you chose not to."

Jackson is set to be suspended for Denver’s next four games against the Kansas City Chiefs, Buffalo Bills, Minnesota Vikings and Cleveland Browns. He is eligible to return to the Broncos' active roster on Monday, November 27, the NFL announced.
