Broncos safety Kareem Jackson says he’ll adjust play style after suspension

After returning from a two-game suspension, Denver Broncos safety Kareem Jackson says he will change the way he plays going forward.

“I probably have to adjust it a little bit,” Jackson said in a recent interview with KMGH-TV’s Troy Renck. “As far as the tackling — lowering the target — I’ll try my best to do that.

“Definitely don’t want to be in this situation again. As far as going forward, I’m sure I’ll be in situations — these bang-bang plays — so for me, it’s all about staying on the field and not having to go through this again.”

Before his suspension, Jackson was ejected twice and fined four times through the team’s first seven games. Jackson’s four fines and fifth offense that led to his suspension were all the result of unnecessary roughness.

Broncos safety P.J. Locke started during Jackson’s suspension, but Locke is now sidelined with an ankle injury. So we might see Jackson go right back into the starting lineup after having his suspension lifted this week.
