Vikings WR Jordan Addison Faces Potential 3-Game Suspension Over DUI Trial

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison is facing a potential three-game suspension for the start of the 2025 NFL season due to a DUI trial stemming from a 2024 arrest in Los Angeles. Addison pleaded not guilty, but if convicted, the NFL's baseline discipline for a first offense DUI would likely lead to his suspension, as noted by NFL insider Adam Schefter. The arrest occurred after Addison was found asleep behind the wheel of his car, blocking a freeway lane, and he was charged with misdemeanor DUI and driving with a blood alcohol content of 0.08%. Addison has been a key contributor to the Vikings' offense, with significant receiving yards and touchdowns over his first two seasons, and his absence could force the team to adjust their offensive strategy, especially with rookie quarterback J.J. McCarthy. This is not Addison's first legal issue related to driving; prior to his rookie season, he was cited for reckless driving and had his license revoked for six months. The Vikings have stated they will let the judicial system run its course and then consider any league disciplinary actions after the trial verdict.
