Overview

• The NFL suspended Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison without pay for the first three regular-season games under its substances of abuse policy.
• The ban stems from a July 2024 DUI arrest near LAX and Addison’s July 2025 plea to a wet reckless charge in Los Angeles.
• He will sit out matchups against the Chicago Bears, Atlanta Falcons and Cincinnati Bengals before regaining eligibility for the Week 4 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Dublin, Ireland.
• Addison remains cleared to participate fully in Minnesota’s training camp and all preseason games despite the suspension.
• With Justin Jefferson healthy and new quarterback J.J. McCarthy set to start, the Vikings will lean on depth options such as Jalen Nailor, Tai Felton and Rondale Moore to fill the early-season void.
