Trainers were carefully holding Griffith’s left arm keeping it immobile as he walked off the field under his own power. That is obviously a huge concern and we’ll need to find out just how bad this injury will be for the up and coming linebacker.
Griffith, 25, came into the league as an undrafted free agent and spent his first season with the San Francisco 49ers before the Broncos traded for him prior to the 2021 regular season. He has looked like he could become a solid starter before this injury, so hopefully he’ll be able to get healthy and back out there playing this season.
