Griffen posted a video of himself holding a gun and saying someone was trying to kill
him at his house. He also made an Instagram story saying he was in danger and
showed text messages he sent to his agent, Brian Murphy, raising the
same concerns.

Minnetrista police also issued a statement saying Griffen has refused to come out of his home and that they are working to resolve the situation.

Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer  responded to a question Wednesday about the defender’s availability for Sunday’s game against the San
Francisco 49ers by saying “that’s not our concern [right now].”

“He’s been with us for a long
time. Works hard,” Zimmer told reporters.

Griffen, 33, spent the first 10 years
of his NFL career with Minnesota after being selected in the fourth
round of the 2010 draft. He split the 2020 season between the Dallas
Cowboys and Detroit Lions before rejoining the Vikings in August as a
free agent.

The Arizona native has played in nine
of the Vikes’ 10 games this season. He most recently played 73
percent
of the team’s defensive snaps in Sunday’s win over the Green
Bay Packers.

He’s a four-time Pro Bowl selection who
was voted second-team All-Pro in 2017.
