NFL Suspends Falcons Edge James Pearce Jr. Eight Games Over February Domestic Violence Arrest
The NFL banned Falcons pass rusher James Pearce Jr. for the first eight games of 2026 under its personal conduct policy, tied to a February arrest involving his ex-girlfriend, WNBA player Rickea Jackson. Pearce still hasn't been convicted of anything, he entered a diversion program, and the league suspended him anyway. That's how the personal conduct policy works, and it's working as designed.
