Minnesota Vikings receiver Jordan Addison could get news on a possible suspension Tuesday. Addison is scheduled to face a jury trial in the Superior Court of California on Tuesday as a result of his 2024 DUI citation.
If Addison is convicted, he could face a three-game suspension to start the 2025 NFL season, per ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Addison, 23, has pleaded not guilty. He was arrested just weeks before training camp last year after he reportedly was found "asleep behind the wheel," blocking a freeway lane near Los Angeles International Airport. Officers performed a DUI investigation and arrested Addison shortly after it was complete. He was charged with suspicion of drunk driving. At the time, the Vikings said they were looking into the situation and gathering facts.
The arrest came just two weeks before the Vikings were set to open training camp. Addison showed up to camp and said he was ready to face "whatever disciplinary actions ... come my way," per CBSSports.com. With his trial being moved to 2025, the league did not issue punishment to Addison during the 2024 NFL season.
After a strong rookie season in which he caught 70 passes for 911 yards and 10 touchdowns, Addison followed that up with 63 catches, 875 yards and 9 scores in 2024.
He's expected to start opposite Justin Jefferson as the Vikings officially transition to the J.J. McCarthy era.
If Addison misses time, a combination of Rondale Moore, Jalen Nailor and rookie Tai Felton could get more looks with the team early in the season. The Vikings face a difficult opening slate in 2025, taking on the division-rival Chicago Bears, Atlanta Falcons and Cincinnati Bengals in their first three games of the regular season.
