Garrett Griffin: Goes back to practice squad
Griffin reverted back to the Lions' practice squad Monday.
Griffin saw his first action of the 2022 season, playing 10 snaps on offense and another seven on special teams. Considering the Lions have spread the ball around to all three of the tight ends on the active roster, it's possible the long-time Saints target could carve out a target or two down the stretch, provided he's activated once more.

Lions' Garrett Griffin: Gets call to active roster
The Lions elevated Griffin to the active roster Friday for Saturday's game against the Panthers.
Griffin has yet to play this season, but he'll have a chance to see the field in Week 16 after getting called up to the active roster. Last year, he made 13 appearances for the Saints and caught all four of his targets for 39 yards, but given the Lions' fully healthy tight end corps, it's likely Griffin operates primarily on special teams against Carolina.

Garrett Griffin: Cut loose Monday
The Lions released Griffin on Monday.
Detroit signed Griffin as a free agent in March after the Saints chose not to tender him earlier in the month. The 28-year-old missed the final four games of the 2021 season after being placed on New Orleans' IR with a hamstring injury in Week 15. Griffin has recorded five career receptions since joining the Saints in 2017, and he will now look to sign with a new team in need of tight-end depth this preseason.

Lions' Garrett Griffin: Signs with Detroit

Griffin appeared in a career-high 13 games with the Saints in 2021 and hauled in all four of his targets for 39 yards. He wasn't tendered a contract by New Orleans in early March but will attempt to carve out a depth role with the Lions in 2022.

Garrett Griffin: Set to hit free agency
The Saints did not tender Griffin's contract Monday, so he will become a free agent, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Griffin caught all four of his targets for 39 yards across 13 games in 2021. The 27-year-old tight end saw snaps on offense and special teams in every game until he suffered a season-ending hamstring injury Week 14. However, he appears to be healthy heading into the offseason, so it's possible he draws interest from teams in search of tight end depth.

However, the 27-year-old participated in practice after being designated to return from IR in early January, per Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football, so Griffin seems to be entering the offseason in good shape.
