Denver Broncos safety Kareem Jackson could make his return to the field on Christmas Eve, which comes just in time for a matchup with the New England Patriots.
Jackson, who is coming off his second suspension of the season, has had a costly year.
The 35-year-old was suspended four games last month for repeated violations of unnecessary roughness rules, bringing his total number of games missed this season to six. In all, Jackson has been ejected from two games this season, suspended for six and has forfeited roughly $928,000 in salary, and fines.
He might have a chance to put that all behind him against the Patriots, but a decision on his game status hasn’t been made yet.
