Broncos' Jackson has suspension reduced to 2 games after appeal
The NFL reduced Denver Broncos safety Kareem Jackson's suspension for illegal hits from four games to two after the veteran appealed, the league announced Tuesday.

Jackson will miss a home contest against the Kansas City Chiefs and a road matchup with the Buffalo Bills.
Jackson's first ejection of the year came after an illegal hit on Washington Commanders tight end Logan Thomas in Week 2.
