Broncos safety Kareem Jackson was fined $19,669 by the NFL for his high hit on Washington Commanders tight end Logan Thomas in Week 2.<\/p>\n
Jackson was penalized and ejected after he delivered a hit on Thomas as he corralled a 4-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Sam Howell with under two minutes remaining in the half.<\/p>\n
Thomas did not return due to a concussion and will miss the Commanders\u2019 matchup against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Even though Jackson avoided suspension, this is the second straight week he has been fined by the league. Jackson was fined $14,819 after a high hit on Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers in the fourth quarter of Week 1. Jackson was flagged for unnecessary roughness while Meyers suffered a concussion that caused him to miss last week\u2019s loss to the Bills.<\/p>\n
Outside linebacker Nik Bonitto was also fined $7,326 for his face mask penalty that negated a sack in the second.<\/p>\n
The Broncos announced Saturday that running back Dwayne Washington has been elevated from the practice squad to the game day roster ahead of Sunday’s matchup against the Miami Dolphins.<\/p>\n
Washington, who spent five seasons with the New Orleans Saints, played in 18 snaps on special teams last week against the Commanders. None on offense.<\/p>\n
Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (concussion) will not play Sunday. Waddle entered concussion protocol after a helmet-to-helmet hit in Miami’s win over the New England Patriots last week. The star wide receiver was listed as a limited participant at practice on Friday after being sidelined on Wednesday and Thursday.<\/p>\n
