The Minnesota Vikings have suspended offensive coordinator Wes Phillips for three weeks after his driving while intoxicated arrest in December.
Wes Phillips will be out of the Minnesota Vikings' offices until just before the NFL Draft to serve a suspension. The team's offensive coordinator was arrested and charged with driving while intoxicated in December. Phillips was booked into the Hennepin County Jail Dec. 8 after reportedly having a .10% blood alcohol level after being pulled over by Minnesota State Police. The state's limit for drivers is .08%. He traveled to and work with the team for the remainder of the year.
Aside from the standards I have for myself, I do understand that as a coach in this league there are certain standards from the NFL and from the Minnesota Vikings, and I didn't live up to those standards,' Phillips said at the time. 'The last thing I would ever want to do is detract from the attention being on the great things these guys do on the field. So, that was unfortunate.
Phillips held the latter role for Washington from 2014 to 2018, before heading to Southern California. He worked under his father in Dallas. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
