Report: Vikings DE Everson Griffen Hospitalized, Undergoing Mental Health Evaluation

Vikings defensive end Everson Griffen is currently being evaluated at a Minnesota hospital after concerns were raised over his mental health this past weekend, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Pelissero reports that there have been previous concerns surrounding Griffen's mental health.

Pelissero reported that a police spokesman told him that authorities were called to investigate an incident which took place at Hotel Ivy in downtown Minneapolis. However, the other person involved retreated from the scene immediately and was not identified.

Pelissero reports that no arrest was made, and that two team sources "strongly deny" a report alleging Griffen was arrested.
