Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Keenan Allen is set to serve a minimum three-game suspension from the NFL following his arrest in Indianapolis last month. The suspension is a mandatory requirement under the league’s collective bargaining agreement after Allen was formally charged with two misdemeanor counts of drunk driving.

According to court records obtained by ESPN, Allen’s blood-alcohol level was measured at 0.224 during the August 30 incident. While the current league policy mandates a three-game ban for such offenses, the duration of the suspension could potentially increase depending on the specific blood-alcohol concentration levels and league review processes. The news of the suspension emerged as the NFL prepared for its second week of regular-season play, which includes matchups such as the Vikings versus the Bears and the Bengals versus the Texans. As of Sunday morning, the Colts organization had not issued a detailed statement regarding the potential impact of the suspension on their active roster for the upcoming games.
