Jaguars suspend Jalen Ramsey, Dante Fowler for week

Under the suspension, neither player will be available to practice this week or to play in the Jags' next game against the Vikings on Saturday.

Fowler, who also is suspended for Week 1 for violating the league's personal conduct policy, was involved in a fight that broke out at Jaguars practice on Sunday. The scuffle was documented by the beat writer, and Ramsey responded to the reporter with the below tweet.
