The NFL suspends Dallas Cowboys defensive end Charles Snowden for the first three games of the 2026 season. Multiple reports say the suspension follows a plea agreement related to a DUI charge. According to police accounts referenced by outlets, Snowden’s blood-alcohol concentration exceeded the legal limit in the 2024 incident, for which the charge was later reduced through a plea deal reached in January. Some coverage describes the outcome as a misdemeanor DUI reduced to reckless driving, while others characterize it as a plea agreement tied to the DUI. Snowden is not available to play when the Cowboys begin the regular season, with his suspension beginning after the team’s roster period; reports indicate he will still be able to take part in training camp and preseason games. The Cowboys signed Snowden after he was waived by the Las Vegas Raiders, and the NFL confirms the suspension is disciplinary in nature and tied to the conclusion of the legal process. After serving the three-game ban, he is expected to be eligible to return for the next game beyond the suspension window.
