Vikings suspend Wes Phillips without pay

The Minnesota Vikings have suspended offensive coordinator Wes Phillips for three weeks without pay following his arrest in 2023.

Kevin Seifert of ESPN reported the suspension on Tuesday. He is eligible to return to work on April 22.

Phillips was charged with DWI initially. He agreed to a plea deal that reduced the charge to careless driving. According to Hennepin County court documents, Phillips admitted to the following offense: “I drove a vehicle in a careless manner when I was driving over the posted speed limit after consuming alcohol. My actions endangered myself and others on the roadway.”

Phillips did not miss any time with the Vikings following the arrest as they allowed the legal process to play out. Now that a plea has been agreed to, the team decided to carry out its punishment.
