Griffin Questionable for Season Opener

Cedric Griffin might miss the season opener against New Orleans on September 9th, as the Minnesota Vikings player continues recovering from torn a torn ACL in his left knee. Griffin injured his knee in the NFC Championship game against the Saints last season, and the recovery typically takes six to nine months to heal.

Griffins status remains unclear, with different Vikings coaches giving conflicting updates. Defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier said on Monday that he would miss the opener, but head coach Brad Childress has not ruled him out, according to the Minnesota Star Tribune.

Griffin began off-season camp on the PUP list but can be activated at any time. Griffin started in all the Vikings’ games last season.
