ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Justin Simmons gave another impassioned defense of suspended Denver Broncos teammate Kareem Jackson on Wednesday, calling for the NFL to provide more clarity and consistency in the rules intended to protect the health and safety of players.
The NFL on Tuesday upheld its four-game suspension of Jackson for lowering his helmet to hit Vikings quarterback Joshua Dobbs in Denver's 21-20 win Sunday night.
“I mean, the fact that he’s going to miss the next four games in a crucial part of our season is unbelievable,” Simmons said.
“And for a play that if that’s routinely going to be called, why was it not called on that one play?
“We're trying our best to adapt to the rules while we’re in the game,” Simmons added.
