NFL Suspends Vikings WR Jordan Addison Three Games for DUI

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison has been suspended without pay for the first three games of the 2025 NFL season following a DUI arrest near LAX in July 2024, marking his second driving-related offense. Addison pleaded no contest to a lesser charge, resolving the legal case with probation, fines, and mandated courses, but the NFL still enforced a standard suspension for a first DUI offense. Despite the suspension, Addison is allowed to participate fully in training camp and preseason games. Addison, a former first-round pick and standout college player at Pittsburgh and USC, has been a key contributor to the Vikings with 133 catches, 1,786 yards, and 19 touchdowns over two seasons. The Vikings face a significant challenge in their receiving corps as star receiver Justin Jefferson is also recovering from a hamstring injury, leaving quarterback J.J. McCarthy without two top targets for the season's start. Addison’s suspension impacts the Vikings’ early-season prospects as they prepare for games against the Bears, Falcons, and Bengals.
