Keenan Allen faces suspension risk after DUI arrest with .224 BAC; three-game minimum likely.

Keenan Allen, 34, was formally charged with two misdemeanors—a Class A misdemeanor for operating a vehicle with an alcohol concentration of 0.15 or more and a Class C misdemeanor for OVWI (DUI)—following his arrest on Aug. 30 after his preseason debut. His blood alcohol content was .224 according to police. Under the NFL's substance abuse policy, a first-offense alcohol violation carries a three-game suspension, with aggravating circumstances (BAC of .15% or more) potentially resulting in increased discipline. Allen made the Colts' 53-man roster and started the regular season, catching six passes for 32 yards in Week 1 against Baltimore.
