xCruzo Brief

Atlanta Falcons edge rusher James Pearce Jr. will miss the first eight games of the 2026 season after the NFL suspended him for violating the league’s personal conduct policy, announced Friday. Pearce’s arrest came in February following a domestic dispute with his ex-girlfriend, WNBA player Rickea Jackson, in Doral, Florida. His charges include aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, fleeing police, resisting arrest, and misdemeanor stalking; they could be dropped if he enters a pretrial intervention program requiring random drug tests, a specified distance from Jackson, and staying out of legal trouble for a year. Pearce is eligible for preseason and all team activities until the suspension starts Sunday, Aug. 30.
