Jackson was released by the Bills on Tuesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports. Jackson joined Buffalo in July in an attempt to complete a 15th NFL season, but the 36-year-old ultimately was unable to earn a spot on the team's final 53-man roster. The Alabama product could still draw interest from other teams looking to improve their depth with an accomplished veteran safety.

The NFL announced Monday that Jackson has been suspended for four games for violating player safety rules, Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com reports. Jackson has now been suspended for the second time this season, after he was previously dealt a four-game ban in late October for multiple violations of unnecessary roughness rules. The ban was reduced to two games following an appeal, but he's likely to serve all four games of his latest suspension after he was deemed to have lowered his helmet during a hit on Vikings quarterback Joshua Dobbs less than two minutes Sunday's 21-20 win over Minnesota. Jackson, who wasn't penalized on the play in question and ended up taking the field for all 74 of Denver's defensive snaps in Week 11, still plans on appealing his latest suspension, according to Legwold.

Jackson was reinstated from his two-game suspension Tuesday, per the NFL's transaction log. Coach Sean Payton said Tuesday that he views Jackson as a starter, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports. He figures to start at safety next to Justin Simmons in Week 11 versus the Vikings.

Jackson had his four-game suspension reduced to two games following a successful appeal Tuesday, Ryan McFadden of The Denver Post reports. The NFL handed Jackson the four-game ban Monday for multiple violations of the league's unnecessary roughness rules, as the safety had already been ejected from two games this season due to illegal hits. As a result of the suspension reduction, Jackson will miss games in Weeks and 8 and 10 before he's eligible to return to action Week 11 game versus the Vikings. P.J. Locke replaced the ejected Jackson in Sunday's win over the Packers and will likely enter the starting lineup beginning with the Broncos' Week 8 contest versus the Chiefs.

Jackson registered four solo tackles, one pass deflection and one interception in Sunday's 17-16 loss to the Raiders. Jackson's interception came in the third quarter after a pass intended for running back Ameer Abdullah in the end zone was broken up by linebacker Alex Singleton. It was Jackson's first interception since 2021 after being shut out across 17 games last season. The Broncos will look for their first win of the season as they welcome the Commanders on Sunday.
