The Facts: Griffin, who was cut by the Broncos on September 3, was re-signed Tuesday. A 2003 fourth-round pick, Griffin began last season as Denver's starter before missing the final eight games with an ankle injury. He finished with 311 yards and three touchdowns in five games.

Diehards Line:The 24-year-old was moved down the depth chart during preseason behind Mike Anderson, Tatum Bell and Ron Dayne, making the former Oklahoma star expendable when teams had to trim their rosters. However, injuries to Anderson and Bell have cleared the way for Griffin's return.
