Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Michael Floyd has been suspended four games for violating the NFL Policy and Program for Substance Abuse, the league announced Friday.

Floyd will miss the first four games of the 2017 season. He’s still eligible to participate in the preseason practices and games, however.

Floyd pled guilty to an extreme DUI case in December back in Arizona, a sentencing that ended his five-year stint with the Cardinals.

After wrapping up the 2016 with New England and being signed by the Vikings in May, the 27-year-old receiver failed an alcohol test that was part of the monitoring during his house arrest in June.
