Former Patriots cornerback J.C. Jackson suspended for first game of NFL season

J.C. Jackson has been suspended by the NFL for the first week of the upcoming regular season. The veteran cornerback, who last played for the New England Patriots in 2023, was found to have violated the league’s personal conduct policy.

The nature of the infraction is not known at this point.

Jackson entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent signing by the Patriots in 2018. Developing into one of the best ball-hawks in football and a Pro Bowl selection, he left the team to sign a five-year, $82.5 million contract during the 2022 offseason.
