There has been some debate about whether Jackson should have been suspended for his action. In fact, NFL officials are upset he wasn’t suspended.
In the end, likely due to the fact he was ejected in the game, Jackson got off with a stiff fine, instead.
Crabtree will be out this week after having his two-game suspension reduced to one game. Additionally, Oakland will be without starting receiver Amari Cooper, who has a concussion and an ankle injury stemming from the hit that knocked him unconscious last Sunday.
