Keenan Allen’s Breath Test Registered 0.224% BAC, Report Finds

Colts receiver Keenan Allen faces an enhanced misdemeanor DUI charge after his reported blood-alcohol concentration exceeded Indiana’s 0.15 percent threshold following his arrest last month.

Allen’s measured BAC was 0.224 percent, according to Stephen Holder of ESPN—well above Indiana’s legal limit of 0.08 percent.

The figure came from a breath test. Allen also provided a blood sample, but those results have not yet been released.

Such a BAC would indicate severe intoxication and approach the level associated with alcohol poisoning. Under the NFL’s substance-abuse policy, Allen could face discipline beyond a three-game suspension.

The policy states: “If the Commissioner finds that there were aggravating circumstances, including but not limited to felonious conduct, extreme intoxication (BAC of .15% or more), property damage or serious injury or death to the Player or a third party, and/or if the Player has had prior drug or alcohol-related misconduct, increased discipline may be imposed.”

The timeline for resolving Allen’s case remains unclear. He could finish the current season without league-imposed punishment, and if he retires after the 2026 season, he would ultimately avoid NFL discipline.
