Griffin is going to miss some practice time, but it doesn't sound like anything too serious.
Vikings starting cornerback Shaq Griffin is dealing with a "soft tissue" injury to his left leg, head coach Kevin O'Connell said on Saturday. The injury occurred, one day after CB Mekhi Blackmon suffered a torn ACL in the first session of training camp.
That's two cornerbacks down in two practices for the Vikings, who also tragically lost rookie CB Khyree Jackson in a car accident earlier this month. It doesn't sound like Griffin's injury is anything serious, but soft tissue ailments can be tricky, so Minnesota figures to exercise caution with this situation.
"I'm looking for those guys just to continuously show some improvement and comfort, use some of the experience that those guys have gotten in some pretty big-time moments over the last couple of years," O'Connell said of players like Evans and Booth. "Just have confidence to show up every day with a plan to focus on some things to get better, and then when we get out on the practice field, let it loose. ... Go try to make a play.
