Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison has been suspended for the first three games of the NFL season for violating the league’s substances of abuse policy. The suspension was announced by the NFL following an investigation into Addison’s conduct. The league’s policy prohibits the use of substances that could impair an athlete’s performance or pose a risk to their health.
Addison, who was drafted in the second round of the 2021 NFL Draft, has been a key player for the Vikings in recent seasons. His suspension will impact the team’s wide receiver corps, which also includes players like Justin Jefferson and KJ Jefferson. The Vikings’ coaching staff has not commented on the suspension, but the team is expected to address the issue in a press conference later in the week.
