Vikings WR Addison Awaits NFL Suspension After DUI Plea

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison pleaded no contest to a "wet reckless" charge following a July 2024 DUI arrest, resulting in a fine, probation, and mandatory online courses. Despite resolving the legal case, Addison faces an impending NFL suspension, likely three games, under the league's substance abuse policy for a first alcohol-related offense. Vikings management has been in contact with the NFL and is preparing for the possibility of Addison missing games, while Addison himself remains focused on training camp and accepting whatever disciplinary decision the league makes. Addison's plea deal does not exempt him from league discipline, and the NFL's ruling is still pending with no official timeline given. The Vikings are emphasizing team depth as they anticipate Addison's potential absence, with players like Jalen Nailor, Tai Felton, and Rondale Moore ready to step up. Addison's performance remains a key part of the Vikings' offensive plans, especially as he adjusts to quarterback J.J. McCarthy in the 2025 season.
