Keenan Allen is in his first season with the Indianapolis Colts, but he could be missing some time later this season. Allen was arrested during the preseason on a drunk-driving charge after failing a field sobriety test.
With the arrest and subsequent charges, Allen is now facing a suspension from the NFL of at least three games, per Adam Schefter of ESPN.
âÂÂThree-game suspensions are mandated by the NFL's collective bargaining agreement, which also stipulates that suspensions could be longer if a player is intoxicated at higher levels,â Schefter reported.
Allen was arrested on August 30, and he reportedly had a .224 BAC at the time of his arrest, which would lead to a longer suspension from the NFL. Still, the NFL is expected to wait for the legal process to play out before leveling any suspension on the veteran wide receiver.
This is a developing story with more to come.ÃÂ
