Griffin injured the toe in the loss to Oregon, and did not practice at all this week. Head coach Pete Carroll said while he didn't expect Griffen to be 100 percent, he was hopeful that working with trainers on the side would improve the toe enough to allow the lineman to suit up.
That tack proved to be fruitless as Griffen didn't even make the trip with his Trojan teammates.
"He woke up . . . a little bit worse maybe from the work they did [Thursday] so we just figured it would be best to treat him for three straight days," Carroll said. "We never thought he was going to make it to full speed, but he was trying."
Griffen, who leads the Pac-10 with eight sacks, will be replaced in the starting lineup by Malik Jackson.
