Vikings Offensive Coordinator Wes Phillips Begins 3-Week Suspension

Wes Phillips, Minnesota Vikings' offensive coordinator, starts his suspension following a DWI arrest, impacting draft preparations but not on-field activities.

Wes Phillips, the offensive coordinator for the Minnesota Vikings, has started a three-week suspension without pay due to a DWI arrest in December.
The suspension, which will not affect Phillips' on-field coaching duties, concludes on April 22, allowing him to return to work on April 23.
Phillips' suspension stems from a December traffic stop where he registered a blood alcohol level of 0.10, above Minnesota's legal limit of 0.08.
Despite the suspension, Phillips will not miss any games, practices, or the NFL draft, but will miss a key portion of draft preparation and the first week of the offseason conditioning program.
The NFL has yet to announce any additional sanctions against Phillips, who expressed contrition and a commitment to learning from his mistake.
