It has been a tough few days for the Minnesota Vikings. Not only did they suffer their first loss last Sunday, but defensive end Everson Griffen recently checked into a local hospital for a mental health evaluation.
Prior to the Vikings’ Week 3 matchup, Griffen was ruled out with a knee injury. However, the defensive end was not even on the sideline at U.S. Bank Stadium during Minnesota’s game last Sunday.
Following the team’s loss to the Buffalo Bills, Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer was asked why Griffen was not on the sideline with the rest of his teammates.
