Reports: Broncos release CB Kareem Jackson

The Denver Broncos released cornerback Kareem Jackson on Monday, according to multiple reports.

Jackson has served two suspensions for a total of six games this season due to hits deemed unnecessary roughness by the NFL.

Jackson’s second suspension just concluded and the Broncos didn’t activate him for Sunday night’s 26-23 loss to the New England Patriots.

If Jackson clears waivers, it is possible he will be signed to the Broncos’ practice squad.

Jackson drew a two-game suspension for a hit to the head of Green Bay Packers tight end Luke Musgrave on Oct. 22. He later was suspended for four games, one day after a high blow to Minnesota Vikings quarterback Joshua Dobbs on Nov. 19.

Overall, Jackson has been fined a total of $89,670 this season for four illegal hits. He also has lost more than $838,000 in missed game checks.

Jackson, 35, has 51 tackles, two interceptions and three passes defensed in eight games (all starts) this season.

Jackson is in his 14th season in the NFL and his fifth with Denver after nine with the Houston Texans. He has 952 tackles and 22 career interceptions, returning three for touchdowns. He also has seven fumble recoveries, one returned for a score.
