In the aftermath of some December legal troubles, Minnesota Vikings offensive coordinator Wes Phillips has received his punishment.
The Vikings have suspended Phillips for three weeks without pay, according to a Tuesday morning report from Kevin Seifert of ESPN. Phillips, 45, is entering his third year in that role for Minnesota.
"Starts today, concludes 4/22," Seifert wrote.
Phillips was arrested Dec. 8 on suspicion of driving while intoxicated; he pleaded guilty to a charge of careless driving on Feb. 15.
"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," Phillips said in December. "So that was unfortunate. I do believe in being accountable, and learning from your mistakes, accepting whatever discipline that may come down the road, growing from it and going forward with a positive attitude."
In 2023, the Vikings finished 22nd and 10th in the league in scoring and total offense, respectively.
