Griffin is listed second on the Jets' first unofficial depth chart behind Chris Herndon, who is suspended for the season's first four weeks, Ethan Greenberg of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Griffin is the most experienced tight end on the roster with 77 NFL appearances under his belt, and the former Texan has drawn praise from new coach Adam Gase. With his minor throat injury in the rear view mirror, Griffin will look to hold off camp challenges from rookie Trevon Wesco and some blocking specialists like Daniel Brown and Eric Tomlinson. If he's successful, Griffin should open the season as the starter while Herndon serves his suspension.

Griffin was held out of Monday's practice due to a throat injury, Eric Allen of the Jets' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Griffin's injury appears minor, as he's reportedly expected to retake the practice field Tuesday. The veteran is competing for a depth role in New York with top tight end Chris Herndon (suspension) appealing a four-game ban.

Griffin (groin) signed a contract with the Jets on Monday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Griffin was waived by the Texans in May following an April arrest on charges of vandalism and public intoxication. The case was later dismissed, and he now lands with the Jets. With top tight end Chris Herndon suspended the first four games of the 2019 season, Griffin is set to provide valuable depth for the Gang Green's offense.

Griffin (groin) was waived by the Texans on Friday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Griffin was in line to again be the Texans' top option at tight end heading into the 2019 season. It's unclear if his April arrest on charges of vandalism and public intoxication is what cost him a roster spot in Houston, but it is worth noting that Griffin was entering the final year of a three-year contract. Regardless, with the tight end now out of the picture, Jordan Thomas and rookie Kahale Warring will likely be fighting for the team's top spot at the position.

Griffin (groin) was arrested Friday night and was charged with vandalism and public intoxication, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

The tight end, who is still recovering from offseason hernia surgery, reportedly punched out his front hotel window and was forced to be detained by officers. It's worth noting the Texans drafted toolsy TE Kahale Warring in the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft the same night of the incident.

Griffin caught one of five targets for six yards in Saturday's 21-7 wild-card round loss to the Colts.

EDGE Analysis

The Texans fell behind early and were forced to pass often, to the point that quarterback Deshaun Watson got his underused tight ends involved. Seeing Griffin and Watson not in sync is not surprising. Griffin finished the season with 25 receptions and 48 targets, indicating he and the quarterback weren't always on the same page. He has one year left on his deal, but given Houston's aversion to using its tight ends, the Texans may opt to part ways with Griffin. They drafted two tight ends in 2018 -- Jordan Akins and Jordan Thomas -- and could save salary by letting Griffin go.

Griffin caught his lone target for eight yards in Sunday's 20-3 win over Jacksonville.

EDGE Analysis

Houston's tight ends were once again a minimal part of the offense, even with the wide receiver group depleted by injury. This was the sixth time Griffin has been targeted one or fewer times.

Griffin caught two of four targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 32-30 loss to Philadelphia.

EDGE Analysis

With no credible running attack Sunday, Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson was forced to drop back 40 times, his most since Week 5. That meant targets for all, including Griffin and the rest of the tight end position group. Griffin, Jordan Akins (three targets) and Jordan Thomas (one) combined to be targeted eight times. That number could increase in coming weeks with Demaryius Thomas (Achilles) done for the season, and Keke Coutee unable to get past a vexing hamstring injury that has kept him out the last four weeks.

Griffin caught his lone target for minus-1 yards in Saturday's 29-22 win over the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

Griffin fell back to earth this week after he amassed a season-high 80 yards in Week 14. If there's one Houston tight end to consider, it's Griffin based on his playing time and being the position group's target leader, but the Texans' passing attack clearly favors the wide receivers. Griffin has been targeted two or fewer times in six of 12 games played.

Griffin caught all five of his targets for 80 yards in Sunday's 24-21 loss to the Colts.

EDGE Analysis

Griffin came just one catch shy of a season high while setting a new mark for yards in the contest. It was just the third time all year the 28-year-old has caught more than two passes in a game. He'll look to keep rolling on the road against the Jets in Week 15.
