Vikings defensive end Everson Griffen will miss at least three games after the team placed him on the NFL's reserve/non-football illness list Friday. Griffen, 33, was taken to a mental health facility Wednesday afternoon, ending an impasse between him and police that started with a 911 call shortly after 3 a.m. from his home in Minnetrista.
Coach Mike Zimmer did not provide any update on Griffen's condition as of Friday afternoon or how the team will proceed with him this season.
"I don't have much of an update on him," Zimmer said before the Vikings' roster move was announced.
