Falcons DE James Pearce Jr. Receives 8-Game Suspension for NFL Conduct Policy Violation
The NFL suspended Atlanta Falcons defensive end James Pearce Jr. for eight games in the 2026 season due to a violation of the personal conduct policy. The suspension, starting on Aug. 30 and without pay, stems from his February arrest in Florida following a domestic violence incident involving his ex-girlfriend, WNBA player Rickea Jackson. He faced multiple felony charges, including aggravated battery and resisting arrest, with one felony being reduced to a misdemeanor. The Falcons had traded significant draft picks to select Pearce, who recorded 10.5 sacks and 26 tackles in his rookie season.
