Minnesota Vikings Pro Bowl defensive end Everson Griffen admitted he is working through “personal issues” and said he doesn’t know exactly when he’ll return to the field in an Instagram post on Thursday.

Griffen, who didn’t play last week and won’t play Thursday night against the Los Angeles Rams, said that these issues — detailed in a police report — have been plaguing him for a long time.

“This past week’s events have raised many questions, and I want to apologize to everyone who was impacted,” he wrote. “… Once I have had time to address those issues, I hope to share my story with everyone.”

Griffen ended his post by vowing to return to the Vikings, writing, "I apologize for not being able to take the field with my teammates and do not have an exact timeline for my return. I promise, however, I will return as a much-improved person and player."

A recent police report noted that Griffen, according to the Vikings, “hasn’t been acting normal lately.” The team sent a letter to Griffen and his representation saying that he wouldn’t be allowed back with the team until he’d undergone a mental health evaluation.

The report, filed Saturday, said that Vikings director of security Kim Klawiter asked police to check on Griffen’s wife and children at their home, saying “it’s almost like he’s having a nervous breakdown.” Griffen’s wife was also cited, and she corroborated the team’s claim that he wasn’t acting normally.

The report details other erratic behavior like uncontrolled yelling during practices and one instance where Griffen allegedly attempted to enter the home of Vikings cornerback Trae Waynes.

The police report also said that since “no crime was committed, there are no criminal charges forthcoming.”
