Minnesota Vikings defensive backs coach Gerald Alexander is suspended following a DUI arrest and subsequent legal proceedings, according to multiple reports. Alexander, 42, was hired by the team earlier this year and is no longer available for team duties. One outlet reports that he pleads guilty to driving while impaired, and that the team suspends him indefinitely without pay. Other coverage describes a three-week suspension beginning July 24, with Alexander away from the team for that period. The accounts agree that the suspension is tied to the DUI case and that Alexander’s coaching responsibilities are paused while the matter is resolved. The reports do not indicate that he is being replaced immediately for all duties beyond the suspension timeframe, but they consistently state that the Vikings will operate without him for the duration of the disciplinary action. The team has not been described in the provided summaries as offering an additional rationale beyond the DUI-related suspension.
