Vikings WR depth chart: How Jordan Addison suspension impacts Minnesota
The Minnesota Vikings are set to begin the 2025 NFL season without one of their top two wide receivers. The NFL announced Tuesday it had suspended Jordan Addison for the first three games of the season for violating the league's Substances of Abuse Policy. The suspension stems from a 2024 incident during which Addison was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence. Addison's absence will create a temporary void in Minnesota's receiving corps opposite Justin Jefferson. Here's a look at the most likely candidates from the Vikings' wide receiver depth chart that could fill that hole. Who is Jordan Addison's backup? Jalen Nailor may not be Addison's true backup, but the Vikings' No. 3 receiver figures to see the largest increase in opportunities with Addison out of the lineup. Addison missed two games during the 2024 NFL season in Weeks 2 and 3 while dealing with an ankle injury. In those contests, Nailor played 104 of a possible 117 snaps while logging a combined six catches for 85 yards and two touchdowns. Logging similar production would give Nailor flex appeal across fantasy football formats. That said, it's worth wondering whether his ceiling will be capped if the Vikings try to ease first-year starter J.J. McCarthy into action as part of a run-heavy offense. EXCLUSIVE: Patrick Mahomes talks painful Super Bowl loss (and new haircut) Vikings WR depth chart The Vikings haven't released an unofficial depth chart ahead of their Week 1 preseason matchup with the Houston Texans. That said, their top three receivers are holdovers from the previous season, so the battle for roles and reps is likely to occur behind them. Below is a look at the top-five projected receivers on Minnesota's depth chart. Justin Jefferson* Jordan Addison* Jalen Nailor* Rondale Moore Tai Felton * Denotes starter. Among the backups, Moore would figure to have the best chance to step into a larger role in Addison's absence. The 25-year-old missed the entire 2024 NFL season due to a knee injury but logged a career-best 530 scrimmage yards during the 2023 season. Felton – a 6-2, third-round rookie out of Maryland – could also see more playing time if the Vikings want a wide-out with more size than the 5-7 Moore. The Vikings carried six receivers into Week 1 last season, so Addison's suspension could allow another two of the team's depth receivers to make the roster. In addition to the six listed above, Minnesota has practice squad holdovers Lucky Jackson, Jeshaun Jones and Thayer Thomas on its 90-man roster along with newcomers Silas Bolden, Dontae Fleming, Tim Jones, Robert Lewis and Myles Price.

Mother of 2 missing children held without bail after previous case dropped for mental health reasons
ROCKVILLE, Md. (AP) — A Maryland woman with a long history of severe mental illness has been held without bail after she was recently rearrested and charged with murder in the 2014 disappearance of her two children — almost three years after an earlier case against her was dropped. A judge dismissed the previous murder charges in 2022 because Catherine Hoggle had been repeatedly found incompetent to stand trial. But that didn't stop prosecutors from indicting Hoggle again after her recent release from a state-run psychiatric hospital where she spent the past 11 years. The new indictment marks the latest twist in a case that began when her toddler son and daughter went missing and were never found. Catherine Hoggle, 38, was arrested Friday. She appeared in Montgomery Circuit Court for a bail review hearing Tuesday afternoon, wearing a tan jumpsuit and glasses. She sat quietly and listened to the proceedings, without showing any obvious emotion as prosecutors laid out the allegations against her. Montgomery County State's Attorney John McCarthy alleged that Hoggle confessed to strangling her children during a conversation with another woman attending a group-therapy session around the time of their disappearance. McCarthy also described a drawing he said Hoggle made in response to a prompt about eliminating stressors from your life: It showed children being thrown into a trash can. 'You think you have stress in your life? I just strangled my two children,' Hoggle told the woman, according to McCarthy's account. Defense attorney says Hoggle remains mentally incompetent Hoggle's attorney, David Felsen, criticized the state's attorney for introducing facts during what he called a '45-minute opening statement' meant for the beginning of a criminal trial, not a bail hearing. Felsen argued that Hoggle remains mentally incompetent to stand trial. That finding hasn't changed since 2022, he said. 'As she sits, she is non-restorable,' he told the court. But prosecutors argued she had been functioning enough over the past few weeks to show a substantial change in her mental state that allowed for her recent discharge from Maryland's Clifton T. Perkins Hospital Center. Since then, McCarthy said she was simply 'free in the community,' living in a group home and walking around town. He raised concerns about the safety of a third surviving child. Hoggle's mother also criticized the circumstances around her release from the hospital. Lindsey Hoggle told reporters after the hearing that her daughter was abruptly discharged into the community — from 'shackles and handcuffs to living on her own in a dorm-like facility.' She should be receiving psychiatric treatment, not sitting in jail, Lindsey Hoggle said. But Montgomery County Circuit Court Judge Jeannie Cho ordered Hoggle held without bail because she could otherwise pose a flight risk and a 'great danger' to the community. 'There is a great deal of information that showed a concerted effort to hide herself and conceal the evidence and to be deceptive,' Cho said before announcing her ruling. The judge noted that Hoggle is currently prescribed 22 different medications. Keeping her on this treatment regimen could be difficult in a group home environment with 'little to no supervision that I can glean,' Cho said. It is still not exactly clear why Hoggle was released from the hospital. First arrest was in 2014 Her children, Sarah and Jacob Hoggle, were ages 3 and 2 respectively when they were last seen in September 2014. Catherine Hoggle also went missing around the same time. The children's father reported them all missing. Hoggle was found days later, walking in a nearby town. Police said she refused to tell them where the children were. She was initially arrested and charged with neglect and abduction, both misdemeanors. She was sent to the state-run psychiatric hospital for treatment. Then in 2017, she was indicted on murder charges. A judge ruled she was incompetent to stand trial and imposed continuing court-ordered treatment. Under state law, authorities had five years to declare her competent to stand trial. That didn't happen, so in 2022, a Montgomery County judge dropped the charges against her, citing the five-year time limit. Hoggle was ordered to remain involuntarily committed for psychiatric treatment because she was still considered a danger to herself or others. During Tuesday's hearing, Hoggle's attorney raised questions about the strength of the state's case. He presented records showing that a court commissioner had found insufficient probable cause to issue an arrest warrant for the murder charges. In response, prosecutors took the case to a grand jury instead, which issued the indictment. Prosecutors said nothing about that process weakens their case. Family members seek answers Hoggle's mother and other family members watched from the courtroom gallery, including the children's father, Troy Turner, whose shirt was emblazoned with a message seeking justice for Sarah and Jacob. In remarks after the hearing, Turner said he still wants answers. He said he hopes that by prosecuting Hoggle again, the court system will finally reveal what happened to his children.

US won't seek death penalty for Mexican drug lords Ismael 'El Mayo' Zambada and Rafael Caro Quintero
NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. prosecutors said Tuesday they won't seek the death penalty in their cases against Mexican cartel kingpin Ismael 'El Mayo' Zambada and Rafael Caro Quintero, the drug lord charged with orchestrating the 1985 killing of a U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration agent. Caro Quintero, 72, and Zambada, 75, have pleaded not guilty to an array of drug trafficking charges. The prosecutions are separate, but they similarly target two of Mexico's most notorious narcos. It is unclear whether taking the death penalty off the table signals any possibility of a plea deal with either or both men. Zambada's lawyer, Frank Perez, said only that the government's decision 'marks an important step toward achieving a fair and just resolution.' Prosecutors said last winter that they were having plea discussions with Zambada's lawyer. Prosecutors wouldn't comment further Tuesday after unveiling their death-penalty decision in brief letters to judges. A request for comment was sent to Caro Quintero's lawyer. The cases are unfolding in the same Brooklyn federal courthouse where infamous Sinaloa cartel co-founder Joaquín 'El Chapo' Guzmán was tried and convicted. The Sinaloa cartel is Mexico's oldest criminal group, with various incarnations dating to the 1970s. It is a drug trafficking power player: A former Mexican cabinet member was convicted of taking bribes to help the cartel. Guzmán and Zambada built it from a regional group into a huge manufacturer and smuggler of cocaine, heroin and other illicit drugs to U.S., authorities say. While Zambada was seen as the cartel's strategist and dealmaker, prosecutors have said he also was enmeshed in its violence, at one point ordering the murder of his own nephew. Zambada avoided capture for years, until he was arrested in Texas last year, after what he has described as a kidnapping in Mexico. One of Guzmán's sons, Joaquin Guzmán Lopez, was arrested with Zambada and has pleaded not guilty in a Chicago federal court. Caro Quintero headed the Guadalajara cartel, parts of which later merged into the Sinaloa organization. The White House has called him 'one of the most evil cartel bosses in the world.' Prosecutors say he is responsible for sending tons of heroin, methamphetamine, marijuana and cocaine into the U.S. and had DEA agent Enrique 'Kiki' Camarena abducted, tortured and killed as revenge for a marijuana plantation raid. The killing was dramatized in the Netflix series 'Narcos: Mexico.'
