Minnesota Vikings DE Everson Griffen in concussion protocol after car accident

Everson Griffen, a Minnesota Vikings defensive end, suffered a concussion this week in a car accident after he swerved to miss a deer. Coach Mike Zimmer stated Friday.
Griffen, who was concussed, was listed on the injury report along with Anthony Barr (knee), Christian Darrisaw(groin), and Harrison Hand (hamstring).

After entering the concussion protocol, Griffen, 33 years old, missed Thursday's practice. After playing last season for Detroit and Dallas, Griffen was unable to attend Thursday's practice due to his concussion protocol. He has since returned to the Vikings.
