Rams player suspended for punch & kicker cut by club

The Los Angeles Rams faced immediate personnel changes following their narrow overtime loss to the Buffalo Bills. Offensive lineman Alaric Jackson was suspended for two games after delivering a punch to Bills linebacker Bradley Chubb during the contest, which ended 37-34.

Jackson’s altercation occurred near midfield after the final whistle, with Chubb later describing the incident as stemming from the high emotions of a tightly contested game. Meanwhile, the Rams opted to release kicker Harrison Mevis, whose struggles under pressure proved costly in the loss.

Mevis missed a field goal in regulation and had another attempt blocked in overtime, prompting head coach Sean McVay to criticize the kicking unit’s performance. The team quickly moved to address the issue by signing Blake Grupe, a veteran kicker with a strong track record of accuracy, from the New York Jets’ practice squad.
