MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — The Minnesota Vikings placed Everson Griffen on reserve Friday following an incident earlier this week where police responded to his home and the defensive end was taken to a mental health facility.
The 33-year-old will not play in Sunday’s game against the San Francisco 49ers. However, it’s unclear how long he’ll be absent from the team. Coach Mike Zimmer has not given an update on Griffen’s immediate future other than to say that the top priority is Griffen’s health and resources for his family.
