Sources: Colts' Allen faces 3-game suspension, but NFL could levy longer ban

ESPN reports Keenan Allen faces at least a three-game suspension tied to a DUI arrest last month, with the league potentially handing down more.

Colts wide receiver Keenan Allen, who was formally charged last week with two misdemeanor offenses stemming from his drunken driving arrest in downtown Indianapolis last month, is facing a minimum three-game suspension, sources told ESPN.

Allen was already a fringe roster piece at sharp_rank 222 and negative replacement value. A three-game minimum ban with room to grow just turns a bench stash into a wasted roster spot. Cut him loose and go find a receiver who's actually going to play football this month.

Speculative — this reads ahead of what the source reported.
