Breaking News:After the most recent modify, the Vikings are prepared for Jordan Addison’s punishment.
Before heading back to training camp, wide receiver Jordan Addison had other things to take care of during the Minnesota Vikings’ summer vacation. Due to an incident in which he was discovered dozing off while operating a Rolls Royce in Los Angeles last summer, the 23-year-old receiver is being charged with DUI. In December, Addison entered a not guilty plea. While the NFL awaits the outcome of Addison’s trial, there has been ongoing conjecture on when and whether he would be suspended.
On June 16, Kevin Seifert of ESPN reported that Addison’s trial date in California is set for July 15. Although the NFL may take longer to make its own determination, a decision should be made before the Vikings’ training camp begins on July 27. The timing has finally become clear, although ESPN’s Dan Graziano first reported in August 2024 that the Vikings anticipate Addison to be punished.
On Monday, Addison’s timeline came into perspective following a court hearing in California.

ESPN’s Kevin Seifert reported on June 16 that Addison’s trial date is scheduled for July 15 in California. A ruling should be determined before Vikings training camp starts on July 27, although the NFL may take longer in making its own decision.
ESPN’s Dan Graziano previously reported in August 2024 that the Vikings expect Addison to be suspended, but the timeline has finally come into focus.
League rules state that a first offense involving “substances of abuse” is punishable by a three-game suspension without pay “absent aggravating circumstances,” Seifert has noted previously.
If Addison is convicted on two misdemeanor charges — driving under the influence of alcohol and driving with a .08% blood alcohol content — this would be his first offense.
A three-game suspension would likely come down from the league at the beginning of the season.
