Everson Griffen's mom passed away. That's why he was absent. Tough deal. #Vikings
Tom Pelissero on TwitterGriffen's mom was visiting. Eden Prairie PD delivered the news. Frazier said he didn't know cause of death. Totally unexpected. #Vikings
Thoughts and prayers to Everson and his family.Vikings head coach Brad Childress fined his then receiver Troy Williamson for missing a week of practice to attend his grandmother's funeral
Classy move by Frazier.Frazier said he didn’t know when Griffen would rejoin the team, leaving that up to him.
“It’s purely up to him when,” Frazier said. “There’s no timetable. I explained that to him,” Frazier said. “He needs to go through the grieving process properly and don’t be thinking about football. Just doing whatever he needs to do away from football. His mom was very, very close to him. This is going to be a tough deal for him.”
Sometimes it's good to be a "players" coach as Frazier understands how hard it is the play football when something else is on your mind. It'll suck not (potentially) having him for a however many games he misses because he makes plays when he gets the chance to play.A.D_blazing wrote:

Go FSU Everson. He is one of my current favorite Vikings on the team.On Wednesday, the mother of Vikings defensive end Everson Griffen died suddenly while visiting Griffen in Minnesota. On Friday, Griffen rejoined the team — and he is expected to play on Sunday.
It may very well help him get his mind off it by playing. Lots of guys have said that in the past.HardcoreVikesFan wrote:Looks like he will be playing after all.
