Canadian Alaric Jackson of the L.A. Rams has been suspended 2 games by NFL

Los Angeles Rams starting left tackle Alaric Jackson has been suspended for two games without pay for striking Buffalo linebacker Bradley Chubb in the face after their teams' overtime game Monday night.

The NFL announced the suspension Tuesday for Jackson, a native of Windsor, Ont., who is slated to miss Los Angeles's games against Arizona and Las Vegas, pending a potential appeal.
