News

  • Cut by Seattle

    Griffin was released by the Seahawks on Wednesday, John Boyle of the team's official website.

    Analysis: Griffin was immediately added back to Seattle's practice squad after being let go Wednesday. The cornerback failed to record any stats while playing three defensive snaps in the team's 31-17 win over the Steelers in Week 2.

  • Signed to 53-man roster

    The Seahawks signed Griffin off their practice squad Thursday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Griffin was elevated from the practice squad for the Seahawks' Week 1 loss to the 49ers, but the veteran cornerback didn't log any snaps against San Francisco. Griffin will provide added depth at the position.

  • Added to Week 1 roster

    Griffin was elevated from Seattle's practice squad Saturday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Griffin wasn't able to crack Seattle's initial roster, but he did land on the practice squad. He'll now likely contribute on special teams and could see some snaps on defense in Week 1 against San Francisco.

  • Cut loose by Seattle

    Griffin was released by the Seahawks on Wednesday, John Boyle of the team's official website reports.

    Analysis: Griffin made Seattle's initial 53-man roster Tuesday, but he will now hit the open market after the team claimed Derion Kendrick off waivers Wednesday to replace him. The cornerback played in all 17 regular-season games with the Vikings in 2025, and he will likely find another suitor in the near future.

  • Back with team Tuesday

    Griffin (personal) was present during Tuesday's training camp practice, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

    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.

  • Sidelined by illness

    Griffin did not practice Wednesday due to an illness, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

    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.

  • Plays in all 17 games for Minnesota

    Griffin finished the 2024 season with 41 tackles (33 solo) and six pass breakups, including two interceptions, across 17 regular-season contests.

    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.

  • Logs first interception

    Griffin registered three tackles (three solo) and three pass deflections, including an interception, in Minnesota's 31-29 win over the Packers on Sunday.

    Analysis: Griffin managed to record an interception for just the second time since 2021. He will look to build off this strong performance against the Jets in a Week 5 matchup in London.

  • Three tackles in win

    Griffin had three total tackles and a pass defensed in Sunday's win over Houston.

    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).

  • Returns to practice

    Griffin (hamstring) returned to practice Tuesday, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

    Analysis: Griffin hadn't practiced since late July due to the hamstring 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.

  • Misses game with hamstring injury

    Griffin missed Saturday's preseason win over Las Vegas due to a hamstring injury, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

    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 cornerback 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.

  • Managing leg injury

    Griffin is dealing with a soft tissue injury to his left leg, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

    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.

  • Finds new home

    Griffin signed a contract with the Vikings on Tuesday, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

    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 tackles and defending four passes, including his first interception since 2020. A Pro Bowler in 2019, Griffin will bolster Minnesota's depth in the secondary.

  • Finishes campaign in Carolina

    Griffin finished the regular season with six tackles (five solo) and one pass defended in three games for the Panthers. He began the campaign with the Texans, recording 33 tackles (24 solo) and one interception on four passes defended in 10 games.

    Analysis: Griffin was cut by Houston despite starting six games. He subsequently started one of his three appearances for Carolina. The former Pro Bowler is now slated to become an unrestricted free agent, leaving his 2024 outlook uncertain until he signs somewhere.

  • Claimed by Panthers

    Griffin was claimed off waivers by the Panthers on Thursday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: The move came a day after Griffin was released by the Texans. Griffin started six games for Houston and recorded 33 tackles, four passes defensed and an interception, but he lost his role to second-year cornerback Derek Stingley in recent weeks. The seventh-year veteran should start off as a depth corner for the Panthers.

  • Cut from team

    Griffin was waived by the Texans on Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Griffin recorded 33 tackles and one interception on the season, but he eventually was cut out of defensive reps and has solely played on special teams for the last two weeks. The veteran cornerback was starting for the bulk of the season but later lost his role to second-year cornerback Derek Stingley, who returned off injured reserve and now has recorded back-to-back games with interceptions.

  • Snags first pick of the season

    Griffin logged five tackles (two solo), an interception and a pass deflection in Sunday's 30-27 win over the Bengals.

    Analysis: Griffin came up big for the Texans, intercepting Joe Burrow in the end zone late in the fourth quarter. The 28-year-old hadn't recorded an interception before Sunday's since 2020, and he'll look to produce once again when the team takes on the Cardinals next week.

  • Back to full speed Thursday

    Griffin (calf) was a full participant at practice Thursday.

    Analysis: Griffin was sidelined during Sunday's loss at Atlanta due to a calf injury he presumably sustained during practice last week, but it now looks like he should be good to go for Week 6. He figures to step back into a starting role Sunday versus New Orleans.

  • Ruled out Sunday

    Griffin (calf) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Falcons.

    Analysis: Griffin sustained a calf injury in practice during the week. His absence for Week 5 along with Tavierre Thomas (coach's decision) means the Texans' secondary will rely on corners Steven Nelson, Ka'dar Hollman and Grayland Arnold.

  • Now questionable for Sunday

    Griffin (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Atlanta.

    Analysis: After apparently sustaining a calf injury at practice during the week, Griffin is now in danger of missing his first game of the season in Week 5. Either way, with Steven Nelson, Tavierre Thomas and Grayland Arnold healthy, Houston should have a fighting chance to contain a Falcons passing attack that hasn't been very good through four games this year.

  • Dealing with calf injury

    Griffin (calf) was a limited participant at practice Thursday.

    Analysis: Griffin is coming off a Week 5 win over the Steelers in which he led Houston's corners in snaps (53), so he likely picked up the injury during practice this week. It's unclear whether he's in danger of missing time, but if he can't manage a full practice Friday, he'll likely carry an injury designation into the weekend.

  • Double-digit tackles Sunday

    Griffin recorded 10 tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's 37-17 win at Jacksonville.

    Analysis: Griffin stepped in as a starter only after Derek Stingley (hamstring) was placed on Houston's injured reserve list, and he made the most of his expanded role off the bat. He tied for the team lead in tackles in Week 3, and at least for now looks like a worthy fill-in for his injured teammate.

  • Stepping in as starter

    Griffin is expected to take over the Texans' starting role at left cornerback with Derek Stingley (hamstring) placed on IR on Saturday, Aaron Wilson of Click2Houston reports.

    Analysis: Stingley's injury is considered a serious one, and he's expected to miss 6-to-8 weeks. Griffin is thus slated to be the next man up at outside corner, where he has plenty of experience over a seven-year career that includes a Pro Bowl berth while with Seattle in 2019. The 28-year-old was released by Jacksonville this past March after injuries limited him to just five games last season, but he appears fully healthy now despite dealing with a back injury during OTAs in June.

  • Healthy again

    Griffin (back) was seen breaking up a pass at Texans camp Thursday, Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Griffin missed some of OTAs with a back issue but has since had time to get past the issue. The veteran cornerback joined Houston this offseason after four years in Seattle and two in Jacksonville. Throughout his career, the Central Florida product has recorded 327 tackles, 59 pass breakups and six interceptions. Expect the one-time Pro Bowler to start alongside second-year corner Derek Stingley ahead of the coming season.

  • Dealing with back issue

    Griffin didn't participate Tuesday at OTAs due to a back injury, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Analysis: The severity of the issue is unclear, but further information should become available as the offseason progresses. Griffin signed a one-year, $4.5 million deal with the Texans in May and when healthy should compete with Steven Nelson for the starting corner spot opposite Derek Stingley (hamstring) in Houston's secondary.

  • Links up with Houston

    Griffin signed a one-year contract with the Texans on Saturday, Jordan Schultz of TheScore.com reports.

    Analysis: The deal could see the corner make $4.5 million based on meeting certain incentives. Griffin signed a massive contract with the Jaguars back in 2021, but the 27-year-old never lived up to the hype and ended his final season with the team playing just five games due to various injuries. Expect Griffin to compete with Steven Nelson for the starting outside cornerback role opposite 2022 high draft pick, Derek Stingley (hamstring).

  • Let go by Jacksonville

    The Jaguars released Griffin on Wednesday, Jordan Schultz of TheScore.com reports.

    Analysis: As expected, Griffin and the Jaguars have officially parted ways following his two-season stint in North Florida. A 2019 Pro Bowl selection, Griffin appeared in just five games this past campaign due to a combination of hip and back injuries. Despite his injury-marred stint in Jacksonville, the 27-year-old's track record could still make him one of the more sought-after cornerbacks in free agency.

  • Jaguars looking to move on

    The Jaguars are expected to release or trade Griffin (back) in the near future, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Griffin is well-regarded as a cover corner in the league, but he managed to play in only five games in 2022 due to a combination of hip and back injuries. Further, the Jaguars will save $13.1 million in cap space by releasing him, a cap hit that may also deter other teams from trading for him. If Griffin hits free agency, he's likely to be among the most coveted corners on the market.

  • Should be cleared for OTAs

    Griffin (back) is expected to be cleared in two to three weeks, Demetrius Harvey of the Florida Times-Union reports.

    Analysis: Griffin was placed on IR in Week 8 of the regular season and missed the remainder of the campaign after undergoing back surgery. It appears he's close to a return and should be 100 percent for OTAs this summer, but his future with the team is in limbo given Jacksonville's need for cap space. Griffin has one year remaining on the three-year deal he signed with the Jaguars ahead of the 2021 campaign.

    Analysis: Griffin landed on the injury report last Friday due to a hip issue and ultimately was sidelined for the team's Week 3 win over the Chargers.

    Griffin (back) isn't listed on Wednesday's injury report.

    Analysis: Griffin missed the final two preseason games due to back tightness, but as expected, he'll be good to go for Week 1.

    Analysis: Griffin is now out for Sunday's game against the Patriots since he'll be unable to return two negative tests at least 24 hours apart. His absence will be a blow to the Jaguars' defense, as he's racked up 45 total tackles and six passes defended across 13 games this season. With Rudy Ford (undisclosed) also on the reserve/COVID-19 list, Tre Herndon and Nevin Lawson are candidates to see an increased role.

Still, this is a major boost for the Seahawks' secondary, especially since Quinton Dunbar (knee) is on IR for at least one more week. Griffin projects to see a healthy dose of Travis Fulgham and Jalen Reagor on Monday.

  • Limited on estimated injury report

    Griffin (hamstring) was listed as a limited participant on Thursday's projected injury report, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Griffin was unable to suit up Week 11 against the Cardinals because of the same hamstring injury, but coach Pete Carroll clarified after the win that he expects the cornerback to be available Week 12. The 25-year-old hasn't played since Oct. 25, yet a limited session Thursday bodes well for his status entering a showdown with Philadelphia. Griffin has recorded two interceptions and seven pass deflections over his six appearances this season, but he has also surrendered five passing TDs in…read more

  • Should be available Week 12

    Coach Pete Carroll said Thursday he expects Griffin (hamstring) to play against the Eagles in Week 12, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Griffin's hamstring injury has sidelined him for four straight games, but he'll get a few extra days to rest up ahead of a Nov. 30 contest in Philadelphia. It sounds like the starting cornerback is on track to return versus the Eagles barring any setbacks, but his health will nonetheless be worth keeping a close eye on.

  • Ruled out due to hamstring

    Griffin (hamstring) will miss Thursday's game against the Cardinals, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio KJR reports.

    Analysis: Griffin cleared the concussion protocol recently but will miss a fourth consecutive game due to his hamstring injury. With fellow cornerbacks Quinton Dunbar (knee) and Neiko Thorpe (abdomen) also sidelined, a Seahawks secondary that has looked overmatched when healthy will be significantly shorthanded against Arizona.

    Griffin (hamstring) didn't participate in Tuesday's practice, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Coach Pete Carroll said last week that Griffin cleared the concussion protocol, but Tuesday was his first day without the designation on the injury report. The fourth-year cornerback is still struggling to recover from a hamstring injury that has sidelined him for three games already, and he's on track to miss Thursday's game against the Cardinals as well.

  • Will need quick turnaround

    Coach Pete Carroll didn't provide an update on Griffin (hamstring/concussion) ahead of Thursday's game versus the Cardinals, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Carroll reiterated once again Monday that Griffin's main issue is the hamstring, but the fourth-year cornerback is still listed on the injury report with a concussion, signaling it could be a lingering problem. It's worth monitoring if that changes, especially since he's trending in the wrong direction after being listed as DNP to start the practice week. Quinton Dunbar (knee) received the same designation, so the Seahawks' secondary could be in rough shape once again against Arizona's…read more

  • Listed as DNP

    Griffin (hamstring/concussion) is listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.

    Analysis: While Griffin is still listed with a concussion, coach Pete Carroll said last week that he cleared the league's five-step protocol, so this is either a formality or Griffin suffered a setback. Regardless, he'll need to get on the practice field by Wednesday to have a chance to suit up in Thursday's matchup against the Cardinals. Quinton Dunbar (knee) also was a DNP on Monday, so the Seahawks are at risk of being without their top two cornerbacks once again.

  • Sitting out Week 10

    Griffin (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rams, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.

    Analysis: Meanwhile, Quinton Dunbar (knee) is considered questionable, but he's trending in the wrong direction. That means the Seahawks likely will be without their two starting cornerbacks, leaving Tre Flowers and Neiko Thorpe (sports hernia) as the expected starters. Ugo Amadi, D.J. Reed and Linden Stephens may contribute as well. Griffin will aim to recover quickly for a Thursday night matchup against Arizona in Week 10.

  • Doesn't practice Wednesday

    Griffin (hamstring) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Coach Pete Carroll said Wednesday that Griffin has cleared the league's five-step concussion protocol but is still hampered by a hamstring strain, according to Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle. He'll need to return to practice by the end of the week to have a chance at playing Sunday against the Rams. The Seahawks' secondary could desperately use the support after getting picked apart for 415 yards and three scores by Josh Allen last week.

  • Set to sit Sunday

    Griffin (hamstring/concussion) has been ruled out of Sunday's game versus the Bills, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Griffin is still in the league's five-step concussion protocol, although he's apparently close to clearing it. The larger issue is his hamstring injury, which is what kept him off the practice field all week. Regardless, he'll miss a second straight game, opening the door for Tre Flowers to get the start at right cornerback while Quinton Dunbar bumps to the left cornerback position.

  • Still not practicing

    Griffin (hamstring/concussion) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: Griffin is expected to be cleared from the league's five-step concussion protocol in the next couple of days, and the hamstring injury is what's keeping him out of practice. Coach Pete Carroll was pessimistic about Griffin's chances to play this week, saying that the fourth-year cornerback would be re-evaluated at the end of the week. If he can't go Sunday against the Bills, Tre Flowers is expected to start at right cornerback while Quinton Dunbar bumps to the left cornerback position.

  • Ruled out for Week 8

    Griffin (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the 49ers, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Griffin failed to practice all week due to a pair of injuries, so he'll sit out of Sunday's divisional tilt. The 2017 third-round pick has endured a turbulent season thus far as he has let up a 113.1 passer rating and five touchdowns when targeted this season. Still, he's a key member of the Seahawks secondary that can ill afford to lose more pieces, especially since Jamal Adams (groin/illness) could be on the wrong side of questionable this week. Tre Flowers will step in and start at left…read more

    Griffin (concussion/hamstring) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: Griffin departed this past Sunday's loss to the Cardinals with a concussion, and he's dealing with a hamstring injury as well. Both issues will be tough to recover from in time for the Week 8 matchup against San Francisco, but he'll have a chance to play if he can return to practice by Friday.

    Griffin exited Sunday's game against the Cardinals and is being evaluated for a concussion, Gregg Bell of the Tacoma News Tribune reports.

    Analysis: Griffin's return can be considered questionable at this time, but he'll need to pass concussion protocol before coming back into the game. Tre Flowers and Quinton Dunbar will operate as the outside cornerbacks in Griffin's absence.

  • Makes eight stops Sunday

    Griffin recorded eight solo tackles and two pass breakups in Sunday's 27-26 win over the Vikings.

    Analysis: Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins threw a whopping 39 times Sunday, keeping Griffin busy all night. The 25-year-old cornerback has shown some bright spots this year, but he's already allowed four touchdowns in coverage and a 108.7 passer rating overall. He's been dealing with a shoulder injury for a couple of weeks, though, so perhaps the Week 6 bye will get him back on track.

    Analysis: Griffin began last practice week as a limited participant and ultimately suited up Sunday against the Dolphins, recording three pass breakups and an interception.

    Griffin (shoulder) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: Griffin played every snap in Week 3's win over the Cowboys, but he's dealing with a shoulder injury to start the practice week. He doesn't appear to be in danger of missing Sunday's game against the Dolphins, but it's concerning since fellow starting CB Quinton Dunbar (knee) sat out practice entirely Wednesday.

    Griffin posted 11 solo tackles, a pass breakup and an interception in Sunday's 38-31 win over the Cowboys.

    Analysis: Fantasy managers who deployed Griffin were likely pleasantly surprised by the high tackle count, although it's a bit concerning for his real-life value. Griffin operates in an every-down role at left cornerback, and he's been struggling with the assignment, allowing 11.0 yards per target, a 131.2 passer rating and three touchdowns through three games. Keep in mind that the matchups have been tough, however, as he's faced the Falcons, Patriots and Cowboys to start the campaign. He'll look to get…read more

  • Possible new star teammate?

    The Seahawks have inquired about the Jets' disgruntled safety, Jamal Adams, in an attempt to further beef up their defense, CBS Sports' Patrik Walker reports, which would add extra help for Griffin and whoever starts across from him, either Quinton Dunbar or Tre Flowers.

    Analysis: Other teams have inquired about Adams as well, and now there's talk from some Jets members that the Pro Bowl safety isn't going anywhere. The Seahawks are also thought to be interested in Chiefs star defensive lineman Chris Jones, while Dunbar is going through a slew of off-field legal issues. All of this will have an effect on Griffin, a Pro Bowler in his own right. The more support he gets around him, the greater chance he'll have to build on last season's 65 tackles and 13 passes defended.

    Griffin, who made seven tackles and a pass breakup over two playoff games, finished the 2019 season with 65 tackles and 13 pass breakups over 14 regular-season games.

    Analysis: Griffin improved in coverage this season, as he yielded 7.3 yards per target and 39.9 receiving yards per game with just four touchdowns allowed. He served as the team's No. 1 corner opposite Tre Flowers, and Griffin earned an alternate bid to the Pro Bowl. Griffin -- a 2017 third-round pick -- is heading into the final year of his contract in 2020.

    Analysis: The Seahawks will be without their No. 1 cornerback against the Cardinals' pass-heavy offense. Griffin has been excellent this year, allowing 6.2 yards per target and just 37 completions over 13 games. Akeem King could see an increase in defensive snaps, and Ugo Amadi will likely work as the nickel corner.

    Analysis: Griffin sat out Week 15 after suffering a hamstring injury sometime last week.

  • Will watch from sidelines Sunday

    Griffin (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Panthers.

    Analysis: Griffin will miss his first game of the season, leaving Tre Flowers as the No. 1 cornerback. Flowers has performed well this year, but Griffin being out of the equation leaves Akeem King and Ryan Neal as the next men up. Furthermore, pass-rushers Jadeveon Clowney (groin/illness) and Ezekiel Ansah (neck) are both out, so the Seahawks will need to stay on receivers even longer.

    Griffin (hamstring) did not practice Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Analysis: Griffin's inability to practice in any form means he is trending down for Sunday's game against the Panthers. Losing the third-year defensive back would be a major blow to a Seahawks secondary tasked with containing a pair of talented young receivers in D.J. Moore and Curtis Samuel in Week 15. If Griffin cannot suit up Sunday, Akeem King is slated to fill in at cornerback opposite Tre Flowers.

    Analysis: Griffin didn't seem bothered by this issue during this past Sunday's loss to the Rams, as he played every defensive snap and recorded four tackles (two solo). However, it's concerning heading into Sunday's game against the Panthers as the Seahawks look to keep pace in the NFC West.
