Most of us don’t do well with pain.

For football players, that’s kind of part of the job.

Safety Michael Griffin, who the Vikings signed this offseason, played most of the second half and was so-so in Week 1 of preseason against Cincinnati.

There might have been a reason for that. According to Chris Tomasson of the Pioneer Press, Griffin played in Friday’s game against the Bengals with not one, but two dislocated fingers.

“I dislocated my wedding finger on the (right) side, but I was able to pop it back in,’’ Griffin said Sunday. “I hit the ground. It was good that I was able to pop it back in because it took like two or three doctors to put the other one back in.’’

Oh. That sounds fun.

Griffin is in competition for the starting strong safety spot alongside Harrison Smith. Right now, he’s second on the depth chart to Andrew Sendejo.

The Vikings signed Griffin to a one-year, $2.5 million contract this offseason, but only $750,000 of that is guaranteed.

Griffin, 31, spent the first nine years of his career with the Titans. He’s racked up 569 tackles, 25 interceptions and has two Pro Bowls under his belt. His best days are behind him, but there’s still hope that he can add a veteran presence, and competition, to this secondary.
