Everson Griffen update:  When we last spoke about the ongoing situation with Minnesota Vikings’ defensive end Everson Griffen Authentic Kyle Rudolph Jersey , it was to bring you a report from Adam Schefter that said the team didn’t expect #97 to be back on the field any time soon.As you might expect with a situation like this, things change quite a bit. Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune was on hand for Mike Zimmer’s press conference on Thursday afternoon, and brings us the following pair of tweets:Krammer did confirm that Griffen’s return would not be this Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals at U.S. Bank Stadium.As we’ve stated in pretty much every story about the Griffen situation since we first got wind of it, obviously the most important thing is for Griffen to get himself in a good place mentally, and then worry about making a return to the football field. As much as we all want to see him out there Youth Xavier Rhodes Jersey , that has to be the first priority for him and the team.That said, I’m certain this won’t be the last update that we’ll have on Everson Griffen going forward. We don’t have any sources or anything like that within the organization, so we’re just sort of rolling with the reports we get from other sources on this one. But, if Mike Zimmer’s demeanor on Thursday is any indication, we might be getting closer to the return of Sack Daddy after all.Linval Joseph was motorin’ on Sunday We’ve talked quite a bit about the touchdown that Linval Joseph scored on Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles. In our defense http://www.vikingsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-adam-thielen-jersey , we’re only doing that because. . .well, it was awesome. It was the third-longest fumble return for a touchdown by a Minnesota Vikings’ defensive lineman, it gave the Vikings a lead over Philadelphia that they kept for the rest of the afternoon, and honestly, who doesn’t love a good big guy touchdown?Courtney Cronin of ESPN looked a little deeper into the touchdown Linval Joseph Jersey , and brought us this stat from the NFL Next Gen Stats folks:Joseph’s listed weight: 329 pounds (and I put about as much stock into that as when the Vikings used to list Pat Williams at 315)Maye’s listed weight: 207 poundsOf course, when you get that much mass moving in one direction, slowing it down becomes a bit of a chore.I’m relatively certain that Linval Joseph isn’t going to beat Marcus Maye in a straight-up footrace or anything, but he was certainly on par with him when the pads were on this past Sunday.Oh, and since it’s in your head now anyway:
