“He’s Officially suspended” Vikings Wide Receiver Suspended To Start The Season
Jeshaun Jones was suspended by the NFL on Tuesday for the first three regular-season games of 2026. The suspension was handed down for violating the league’s substance abuse policy.
On April 18, Jones was arrested for refusing to take a breath test to determine his blood alcohol content.
On July 13, the 26-year-old entered a no contest plea to reckless driving, which carries a 12-month probation period. His NFL suspension begins Monday and will last until the Vikings play their first three games. On Monday, Sept. 28, the day after the Vikings’ third regular-season game against the Buccaneers, he can be reinstated.
Through the Vikings‘ first two preseason games, Jones had six catches and 80 yards, but he fumbled after catching an 11-yard pass against the Ravens in the fourth quarter.
In 2024, Jones signed with the Vikings as an undrafted free agent. Last season, he debuted against the Packers in the team’s regular-season finale.
