Vikings running back suspended by the NFL for substance abuse

Earlier this year, reports surfaced about Minnesota Vikings running back Roc Thomas being arrested after police raided his apartment in Mendota Heights and found five ounces of marijuana and other items inside.

Since then, things had been rather quiet regarding the subject as the team or the league hadn’t stepped in with any sort of discipline. However, with training camp and big decisions coming in terms of the 53-man roster, action had to be taken soon.

Today, Andrew Krammer revealed on Twitter that the running back has been suspended for three games based on that arrest.
