Minnesota Vikings defensive backs coach Gerald Alexander is suspended following a driving while impaired case. Multiple outlets report that the 42-year-old coach, who was hired in February, pleads guilty to a DWI-related charge earlier this month. The team removes him from team activities for three weeks, with the suspension reported to have begun July 24. Reporting differs slightly on payment terms, but at least one source characterizes the suspension as without pay or indefinite pending further action, while others describe it as a three-week absence from the team. One account also states that Alexander’s blood alcohol concentration was more than twice the Minnesota legal limit. No outlet disputes the core timeline: Alexander’s guilty plea leads to a Vikings suspension and keeps him away from his coaching duties for the duration specified by the team. The Vikings’ decision keeps him from working with the defensive back unit during the suspension period while the matter is resolved through the legal process.
