Saints backup quarterback Ryan Griffin needed more than 50 stitches on his face after he was hit with a champagne bottle at a New Orleans bar. But Griffin is OK and has practiced with the Saints since the incident. Griffin, who is heading into his third season with the Saints but has never played in a regular-season game, was attacked around 1:50 a.m. on June 7, according to the New Orleans Times-Picayune. Griffin told police that he thinks he was attacked because he bumped into a group of men. “Mr. Griffin believes words were exchanged and he was struck in the head with a champagne bottle,” the police report said. “Mr. Griffin said that his friends told him that they believed it was a champagne bottle because the contents were sprayed all over them when he was struck with the bottle.” Griffin went to the emergency room, got stitches, and then talked to the police after going home. The Saints have confirmed they are aware of the incident. There have been no reports of any arrests.
