The Los Angeles Rams continue to face challenges following their recent defeat to the Buffalo Bills, as offensive lineman Alaric Jackson received a two-game suspension for punching linebacker Bradley Chubb. This incident occurred after the Rams' narrow 37-34 overtime loss on Monday, where emotions ran high.

Jackson approached Chubb, who was conversing with players from both teams near midfield, and struck him in the jaw. Chubb commented on the incident, stating, "It's just emotions, you know what I mean? Emotional game, it was a close game."

As a result of the suspension, Jackson will be unavailable for the Rams' upcoming games against the Arizona Cardinals and Las Vegas Raiders.

In a separate move, the Rams have released kicker Harrison Mevis and signed Blake Grupe from the New York Jets' practice squad. Mevis struggled during the game, missing a crucial field goal in regulation and having another attempt blocked in overtime, which head coach Sean McVay attributed to costing the team the game. McVay remarked, "The kicking game, especially with our PAT, field goal, not even close to good enough."

Mevis, 24, has converted five of his last nine field goal attempts, with only one successful kick in his last four tries over the past two games. In contrast, Grupe, 27, boasts an impressive career conversion rate of 81.9% for field goals and 98% for extra-point attempts across 50 NFL games with the New Orleans Saints and Indianapolis Colts.
