Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jeshaun Jones has been suspended for three games for violating the NFL's substances of abuse policy. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Associated Press.
The NFL did not disclose the nature of the violation in its announcement of the punishment on Tuesday. Jones spent the last two years on Minnesota's practice squad before being promoted to the active roster and appearing in the final game of the 2025 season. He went undrafted out of Maryland, where he had 2,040 receiving yards on 151 receptions with 14 touchdowns over a six-year career.
Jones remains eligible to participate in what remains of the preseason, including the final exhibition game at Denver on Friday. His suspension will begin on Sunday, and he will be eligible for reinstatement on Sept. 28.
The 26-year-old Jones was already going to have a tough time making the active roster for the regular season, with Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison and Jauan Jennings locked into the starting spots and Tai Felton and Myles Price in line for backup.
