The NFL has dealt a major blow to the Vikings as one of J.J. McCarthy’s key teammates faces a hefty suspension. With the team already navigating a season of change, this latest setback adds fuel to the growing controversy surrounding Minnesota’s quest for success.
J.J. McCarthy quarterback of the Minnesota Vikings
The Minnesota Vikings have confirmed that Jordan Addison has been suspended for three games by the NFL.
It’s a tough blow to start the 2025 season, especially considering that head coach Kevin O’Connell is beginning a new era with J.J. McCarthy as his starting quarterback.
“The NFL has announced WR Jordan Addison has been suspended without pay for the first three games of the 2025 regular season for violating the NFL’s Substances of Abuse Policy.
Addison is permitted to participate in all training camp activities, including preseason games without restriction.”
The Vikings won 14 games last season with Sam Darnold but were eliminated early in the playoffs. Now, no one knows if they can be Super Bowl contenders with an inexperienced quarterback.
Who will be starting quarterback for Vikings?
J.J. McCarthy will be the starting quarterback for the Vikings after Sam Darnold left the team to sign with the Seattle Seahawks.
It’s important to remember that McCarthy didn’t play last season due to a serious injury to his right knee.
The Vikings’ offense looks like one of the best in the NFL with names like Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, T.J. Hockenson, and Aaron Jones.
However, everything will depend on McCarthy’s performance.
Why is Jordan Addison suspended?
Jordan Addison was suspended for the first three games of the 2025 NFL regular season for violating the league’s Substances of Abuse Policy.
He will miss the games against the Chicago Bears, the Atlanta Falcons, and the Cincinnati Bengals. His return is expected in Week 4 when the Vikings face the Pittsburgh Steelers in Ireland.
