Griffin caught three of three targets for 30 yards during Sunday's 36-27 win over Tampa Bay.
EDGE Analysis
Griffin hadn't even been targeted with a pass all season before catching three of them Sunday. However, it's possible that the Air Force product could go the rest of the season without matching this production.

Griffin logged 17 offensive snaps during Sunday's 38-3 win over the Packers.
EDGE Analysis
Griffin was in the starting lineup next to No. 1 tight end Adam Trautman, but Juwan Johnson was ultimately used much more as a receiver. Meanwhile, Griffin logged nearly half of the available snaps on special teams. Barring an injury to Trautman or Johnson, it seems unlikely Griffin will ever play a significant role in the passing game.

Griffin (undisclosed) is expected to return to the Saints' practice field Thursday, Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Griffin sat out of Monday's exhibition game against the Jaguars due to an undisclosed injury. His quick return to practice is a positive, as he is competing for a depth tight end role with the team. The 27-year-old has primarily been a practice squad player for New Orleans during his four-year career.

Griffin (undisclosed) won't play in Monday's preseason game against the Jaguars, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
EDGE Analysis
Griffin apparently got "banged up" in the Saints' last practice. He's in a battle for a roster spot as a depth tight end, so Griffin can ill afford to miss significant time due to this injury.
