Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison has been suspended by the NFL in connection to a DUI charge from 2024, the NFL announced on Tuesday. Addison will miss three reguar-season games as a result of the suspension, though he is still permitted to practice with the team and play in the preseason.
Addison was arrested in Southern California last July after being found “asleep at the wheel” while blocking a freeway lane near Los Angeles International Airport. He was charged with driving under the influence after being arrested under suspicion of drunk driving.
Addison faced a minimum three-game suspension from the NFL as a result of the incident.
The third-year receiver was set to go in front of a jury trial last month, but instead pled down to a lesser offense. Addison will serve 12 months probation as part of the lesser charge, known as a “wet reckless,” a charge that acknowledges alcohol or drugs are involved, but carries a lesser sentence than a DUI.
