Griffin (personal) was present during Tuesday's training camp practice, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Per Brady Henderson of ESPN.com, Griffin had missed the prior week and a half of team activities due to a personal matter. He did not practice Tuesday despite his presence, so it's still unclear whether he'll be available for Thursday's preseason bout versus the Raiders. Until he's back with the team in a full capacity, 2024 fifth-rounder Nehemiah Pritchett is a candidate to see increased work.

Griffin did not practice Wednesday due to an illness, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Griffin returned to the Seahawks on a one-year contract in June after playing a reserve role with the Vikings in 2024. Coach Mike Macdonald didn't voice concern over the issue, stating the team was just being cautious.

Griffin agreed to terms Wednesday on a one-year, $3 million contract with the Seahawks, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Griffin, who suited up for all 17 regular-season games with Minnesota in 2024, now joins forces with Seattle on a one-year deal reportedly worth up to $4 million. The 29-year-old brings reliability and experience to the Seahawks' cornerback corps, and he'll likely spend training camp competing with Josh Jobe for the No. 3 gig behind starters Riq Woolen and Devon Witherspoon.

Griffin finished the 2024 season with 41 tackles (33 solo) and six pass breakups, including two interceptions, across 17 regular-season contests.
EDGE Analysis
After flopping as a free-agent signing in Jacksonville, the Vikings were Griffin's fourth team in the last three seasons after splitting the 2023 campaign with the Texans and Panthers. Griffin's 17 appearances marked his first full season since 2018 with Seattle. He turns 30 years old in July and is scheduled to again be a free agent. Perhaps the healthy 2024 as the Vikings' third cornerback will be able to land Griffin a chance to start on his next contract.

Griffin registered three tackles (three solo), three pass deflections and an interception in Minnesota's 31-29 win over the Packers on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Griffin managed to record an interception for just the second time since 2021. He will look to build off this strong performance and produce again versus the Jets next week.

Griffin had three total tackles and a pass defensed in Sunday's win over Houston.
EDGE Analysis
Griffin played on 47 of the defense's 67 snaps as he's getting significant playing time as the third cornerback in dime packages (the Vikings mostly use three safeties in their base configuration).

Griffin (hamstring) returned to practice Tuesday, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Griffin hadn't practiced since late July due to the issue, so expect him to be eased back into action. He's unlikely to play in any preseason games but looks on track to play Week 1 of the regular season. He's expected to start opposite Stephon Gilmore with Byron Murphy Jr. playing in the slot.

Griffin missed Saturday's preseason win over Las Vegas due to a hamstring injury, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Griffin hasn't practiced since late July due to the issue and the severity of the injury isn't clear. The Vikings are struggling with corner back depth with Byron Murphy coming back from a knee injury, Mekhi Blackmon lost to a torn ACL and the death of 2024 fourth-round draft pick Khyree Jackson in a car accident.

Griffin is dealing with a soft tissue injury to his left leg, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Griffin signed with Minnesota in March and has a chance to earn a starting role at cornerback with his new team, but he'll be held out of practice for a period while recovering from the leg issue. Head coach Kevin O'Connell said Saturday that "it might be a week or so" before Griffin returns, so it doesn't appear that the injury is going to prevent him from being ready to suit up when the regular season rolls around.

Griffin signed a contract with the Vikings on Tuesday, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Griffin finished his 2023 campaign with Carolina after being waived by the Texans in November. The veteran corner appeared in a total of 13 games between the two teams, making 39 combined tackles and defending four passes, including his first interception since 2020. A Pro Bowler in 2019, Griffin will have the opportunity to bolster Minnesota's depth in the secondary.
