Griffith (knee) will reach an injury settlement with the Broncos on Monday, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.
Griffith was waived with an injury designation last Tuesday and reverted to IR after going unclaimed. The Indiana State product was working to come back from a torn ACL suffered in August of 2023, but suffered a setback and will need a second surgery to help repair the injury. It's not yet clear how long it will take to recover this time, but it's unlikely he'll be participating on the football field anytime soon.

Battling for starting job
Published: 2024-08-06
Griffith, who tore his ACL in August of 2023, has been participating in drills during Denver's training camp and is competing against Cody Barton for the starting inside linebacker job alongside Alex Singleton, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.
Griffith noted after practice Monday that he was determined to recover from his torn ACL injury as fast as running back Javonte Williams did last year, per Tomasson. Griffith was able to return to minicamp in June, and the 27-year-old linebacker out of Indiana State is determined to battle Barton for the starting role at inside linebacker. Griffith signed with the Broncos in 2021, and across the first two years of his NFL career, he accumulated 92 tackles (48 solo), one pass defended, one interception and one fumble recovery over 22 regular-season games.
Back for minicamp
Published: 2024-06-12
Griffith (knee) was spotted working out during Tuesday's mandatory minicamp session.
Griffith missed all of Denver's 2023 campaign due to a knee injury suffered in early August last year, but it now seems as if he's moved past the issue. Across his two seasons in the NFL, the Indiana State product has appeared in 21 games and recorded 92 total tackles, including four tackles for loss, while also intercepting one pass. Now that Griffith is back at full health, he's expected to compete for a depth role in the Broncos' outside linebacker corps.
Re-signs with Denver
Published: 2024-02-14
The Broncos re-signed Griffith to a one-year deal Wednesday, Parker Gabriel of the Denver Post reports.
Griffith was slated to be a restricted free agent but is now set to return to Denver for the 2024 campaign. The 27-year-old missed the entirety of last season due to a torn ACL but will look to get healthy and be good to go for the start of next season.
Lands on injured reserve
Published: 2023-08-03
Griffith (knee) was placed on IR on Thursday, Ben Swanson of the Broncos' official site reports.
Griffith suffered the injury during a special-teams drill Tuesday when he stepped on another player's foot. Mike Klis of 9News reported the severity of the injury earlier Thursday, so his official move to injured reserve doesn't come as a surprise. In Griffith's absence, the team signed linebacker Austin Ajiake.
Out for season
Published: 2023-08-03
Griffith suffered a torn ACL during practice Tuesday, Mike Klis of 9News reports.
Griffith left the practice field early Tuesday, but the severity of the injury was not known at the time. After further testing, it was revealed the 26-year-old suffered a season-ending torn ACL injury, which will require surgery to repair. It's certainly not only a blow to the Indiana State product but the Broncos linebacker corps also, where Grifftih was expected to fill a rotational depth role after starting eight games for the team last season. He'll now focus on his recovery and being ready for 2024.
Sits out Wednesday
Published: 2023-08-02
Griffith (undisclosed) missed the Broncos' practice Wednesday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.
The linebacker left the field during Tuesday's session with the help of trainers. Griffith started eight games and recorded 46 tackles and an interception in 2022. The fourth-year player is slotted into a depth role as Week 1 approaches.
Recovered from injury
Published: 2023-06-01
Griffith has returned to the field after recovering from an ankle injury, Cody Roark of Mile High Sports reports.
Griffith landed on injured reserve in November but is now back on the field for OTAs. The 26-year-old recorded 46 tackles (26 solo) and a sack in nine games last season and should serve as a solid depth option during the 2023 campaign.
