This presumably ends Griffin’s playing career, as the 34-year-old now joins the coaching ranks. Griffin threw for only 18 yards in his playing career but stuck around as a backup for 10 seasons after joining the Saints as a UDFA in 2013. Griffin is expected to work the quarterbacks and receivers and could be responsible for developing some high-profile rookies in the very near future.

Griffin didn't practice after getting in a limited session on Wednesday. Cole Kmet is the Bears tight end to talk yourself into in a weak moment and then be disappointed by the bagel on. Griffin probably doesn't even need to be rostered in deep leagues at this point. 

It was a downgrade from a limited session on Wednesday, and could be an inauspicious sign for his availability on Sunday against the Giants. Griffin didn't practice at any point last week. Trevon Wesco and Khari Blasingame split snaps against the Texans as extra blockers. 

This would open up targets for Cole Kmet if Cole Kmet were more than a mythological creature who exists only in our minds. Griffin didn't practice all week and could be looking at a multiple-week absence.
