NFL suspends star player after domestic incident
The Atlanta Falcons announced that linebacker James Pearce Jr. has been suspended for the first eight games of the 2026 NFL season for violating the league’s personal conduct policy following his arrest related to a domestic dispute. Pearce, who led the team with 10.5 sacks in his rookie season, is temporarily sidelined during a period when the team is already dealing with significant injuries, including a season-ending ACL tear to a fellow linebacker. The suspension begins August 30, but Pearce can participate in practices and preseason games before that date as he works through legal and league-imposed restrictions.
