Jackson will also miss the Broncos’ game at Buffalo following their bye next week before returning to the team on Nov. 14. Before taking any questions at the podium, Simmons read from a checklist of items he wanted to address regarding Jackson’s suspension for what he called a hit that “was very clean.”
“But when the hit is applied to your shoulder, I don’t think that falls into the spectrum, and I think he’s being victimized for the past couple of weeks,” Simmons added.
