Griffith (knee) tried out for the Browns on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
EDGE Analysis
The linebacker reached an injury settlement with the Broncos ahead of the 2024 campaign after learning that he would need a second surgery to repair a torn ACL he suffered in August of 2023. Before those surgeries, Griffith was a rotational option for Denver, recording 46 tackles apiece in 2021 and 2022. Now, he'll look to revive his career after two years away from football.

Griffith (knee) will reach an injury settlement with the Broncos on Monday, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
Griffith was waived with an injury designation Tuesday and reverted to IR after going unclaimed. The Indiana State product was working to come back from a torn ACL suffered in August of 2023, but he suffered a setback and will need a second surgery to help repair the injury. It's not yet clear how long it will take to recover this time, but it's unlikely he'll be on the field anytime soon.

Griffith, who tore his ACL in August of 2023, has been participating in drills during Denver's training camp and is competing against Cody Barton for the starting inside linebacker job alongside Alex Singleton, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
Griffith noted after practice Monday that he was determined to recover from his torn ACL as fast as running back Javonte Williams did last year, per Tomasson. Griffith was able to return to minicamp in June, and the 27-year-old linebacker out of Indiana State is in a battle with Barton for the starting role at inside linebacker. Griffith signed with the Broncos in 2021, and across the first two years of his NFL career, he accumulated 92 tackles (48 solo), one pass defended, one interception and one fumble recovery over 22 regular-season games.

Griffith (knee) was spotted working out during Tuesday's mandatory minicamp session.
EDGE Analysis
Griffith missed all of Denver's 2023 campaign due to a knee injury suffered in early August last year, but it now seems as if he's moved past the issue. Across his two seasons in the NFL, the Indiana State product has appeared in 21 games and recorded 92 total tackles, including four tackles for loss, while also intercepting one pass. Now that Griffith is back at full health, he's expected to compete for a depth role in the Broncos' outside linebacker corps.

The Broncos re-signed Griffith to a one-year deal Wednesday, Parker Gabriel of the Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Griffith was slated to be a restricted free agent but is now set to return to Denver for the 2024 campaign. The 27-year-old missed the entirety of last season due to a torn ACL but will look to get healthy and be good to go for the start of next season.

Griffith (knee) was placed on IR on Thursday, Ben Swanson of the Broncos' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Griffith suffered the injury during a special-teams drill Tuesday when he stepped on another player's foot. Mike Klis of 9News reported the severity of the injury earlier Thursday, so his official move to injured reserve doesn't come as a surprise. In Griffith's absence, the team signed linebacker Austin Ajiake.

Griffith suffered a torn ACL during practice Tuesday, Mike Klis of 9News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Griffith left the practice field early Tuesday, but the severity of the injury was not known at the time. After further testing, it was revealed the 26-year-old suffered a season-ending torn ACL injury, which will require surgery to repair. It's naturally a blow to both the Indiana State product and the Broncos linebacker corps, considering Grifftih was expected to fill a rotational depth role after starting eight games last season. He'll now focus on his recovery and being ready for 2024.

EDGE Analysis
The linebacker left the field during Tuesday's session with the help of trainers. Griffith started eight games and recorded 46 tackles and an interception in 2022. The fourth-year player is slotted into a depth role as Week 1 approaches.

Griffith has returned to the field after recovering from an ankle injury, Cody Roark of Mile High Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Griffith landed on injured reserve in November but is now back on the field for OTAs. The 26-year-old recorded 46 tackles (26 solo) and a sack in nine games last season and should serve as a solid depth option during the 2023 campaign.

Denver placed Griffith (ankle) on injured reserve Saturday, Nick Kosmider of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Griffith was expected to be out indefinitely with a foot injury, so his move to IR isn't surprising. In his absence, Alex Singleton and Josey Jewell are expected to serve as the Broncos' top inside linebackers against the Raiders on Sunday.
