The NFL has suspended Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison three games without pay for violating the league's substances of abuse policy, the club announced Tuesday.
ESPN reported Monday that the team was bracing for the news following the adjudication of his legal case stemming from his arrest on a DUI charge in July 2024.
According to the team, Addison can participate fully in all training camp activities and preseason games. But he will not play when the Vikings open the regular season Sept. 8 in Chicago against the Bears on Monday Night Football. Addison also will miss the home games against the Atlanta Falcons and Cincinnati Bengals in Weeks 2 and 3.
Addison is eligible to return for Minnesota's Week 4 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Dublin, Ireland.
Addison was arrested in July 2024 near Los Angeles International Airport after police found him asleep at the wheel of his Rolls-Royce, which was blocking a lane of traffic on Interstate 105. He resolved his legal case last month by pleading no contest to a lesser charge. He was placed on 12 months of probation and ordered to pay a fine and complete two online courses.
He caught 63 passes for 875 yards and nine touchdowns in 15 games (all starts) during his second season in 2024.
The 2023 first-round draft pick (23rd overall) has 133 receptions for 1,786 yards and 19 TDs in 32 games (29 starts) while serving primarily as the Vikings' No. 2 receiver behind All-Pro Justin Jefferson.
