The NFL suspended Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison on Tuesday for the first three games of the 2025 season for violating the league's substances of abuse policy, the league announced
The suspension comes after Addison resolved a 2024 DUI citation by pleading no contest to a lesser charge in July.
Addison is permitted to participate in all training camp activities, including preseason games, without restriction. Upon the start of the regular season, Addison will be prohibited from entering the team facility for three weeks, per the terms of his suspension.
A first-round pick out of USC in 2023, Addison has logged 133 receptions for 1,786 yards and 19 touchdowns in his first two seasons with Minnesota. Despite not yet breaking 1,000 receiving yards in a season, Addison has proven himself as a quality No. 2 option alongside superstar wideout Justin Jefferson.
Minnesota's offense -- which will include a new starter at quarterback in 2024 first-rounder J.J. McCarthy -- will have to find a way to move the ball through the air without Addison for most of the first month of the 2025 season.
