Minnesota Vikings' Jordan Addison Suspended for Three Games, Preseason Game against Houston Texans Set
Jordan Addison, a key wide receiver for the Minnesota Vikings, has been suspended for three games by the NFL for violating the league's personal conduct policy. The suspension will see Addison miss games against Chicago, Atlanta, and Cincinnati.
Despite the suspension, Addison has shown remorse and contrition, having been contrite and remorseful upon reporting to training camp last year. The wide receiver, who has 19 touchdowns and 1,786 receiving yards in his first two seasons, will be able to practice and play in exhibition games before the suspension starts.
Addison, along with Justin Jefferson, forms a dominant duo for the Vikings. The upcoming preseason game, set to take place on Saturday, Aug. 9, 2025, will provide a chance for both players to showcase their skills. The game will be hosted by the Minnesota Vikings against the Houston Texans.
