Jordan Addison suspended for three games

Jordan Addison has officially been suspended by the NFL for the first three games of the upcoming season for violating the league's Substances of Abuse Policy.

In July, Addison pleaded no contest to a reduced charge in his DUI case in California. He was sentenced to 12 months probation for the incident. Court records showed that Addison's charges were reduced to a "wet reckless," a misdemeanor in California, he was fined $390.

Addison was arrested by California Highway Patrol last July, after being found asleep at the wheel of a Rolls Royce that was blocking traffic. It was the second driving related offense by Addison in as many years.
