Vikings defensive end Everson Griffen has been ruled out for Sunday's game in San Francisco, although his leave from the team is considered indefinite. Coach Mike Zimmer did not provide any update on Griffen's condition as of Friday afternoon or how the team will proceed with him this season.
"I don't have much of an update on him," Zimmer said. "We've been so busy with everything."
Griffen, 33, was taken to a mental health facility Wednesday afternoon, ending an impasse between the Vikings defensive end and police that started with a 911 call shortly after 3 a.
