Keenan Allen Faces Potential Three-Game Suspension

Sunday, August 30, 10:48 AM

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Keenan Allen could face a three-game suspension following his arrest early Sunday morning, according to Mark Maske of Front Office Sports. Allen was arrested on preliminary misdemeanor charges of operating a vehicle while intoxicated with an alcohol concentration equivalent of .08 or higher and operating while intoxicated while endangering a person. The Marion County Prosecutor's Office will make the final charging decision. Maske notes that the NFL's substances-of-abuse policy calls for a three-game suspension without pay for a first alcohol-related violation of law, absent aggravating circumstances. No discipline has been announced, and the NFL generally waits for the legal process to conclude before acting. Allen signed with Indianapolis on Aug. 19 and caught one pass for 24 yards in Saturday's preseason finale. He had 81 catches for 777 yards and four touchdowns with the Chargers last season. A suspension would open more work for Alec Pierce, Josh Downs and tight end Tyler Warren.

Zay Flowers News

Zay Flowers Good to Go for Week 1

Tuesday, September 1, 5:22 AM

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers (lower body) has been limited in practice due to an unspecified lower body injury, but it looks like it won't impact his availability against the Colts in Week 1, according to Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports. Flowers is expected to practice in full next week and be ready to go on Sunday afternoon in Indianapolis. Flowers finished with 86 catches for 1,211 yards and five touchdowns on 118 targets last season, and the Ravens' offense under new offensive coordinator Declan Doyle will be focused on getting the ball into Flowers' hands in spots where he can make big plays. He's a high-end WR2 with WR1 upside, and it looks like the injury will not slow him at all as the regular season gets underway. He can be started as you normally would, as the Ravens start a new era under new head coach Jesse Minter.
