Vikings General Manager Rick Spielman said Tuesday defensive end Everson Griffen is in a "very good spot now" two weeks into his return to the team after a five-week absence to address a mental health issue that led to two police incidents in September.
"Everson has done everything he's been asked to do by the professional medical people he's working with and beyond," Spielman said. "Everson is in a very good spot now. But it's not OK today — it's an ongoing thing. Everson is hellbent on being a success story. But I want to make sure as an organization we put all the pieces in place to make sure that he has the best chance of success.
