The implosion will set in if this is true. The Saints are wayyyyy easier to defend without Jimmy.

There only specialty player at that point would be Darren Sproles, but I dont understand why defensive players don't hit this guy at the LOS. He will juke you out of your draws if you don't.

Fuck. There goes one of my FF teams.

I sure hope this is true. Means he would miss the 2 games against the Falcons and the Falcons have had fits trying to defend Graham.

There's a rumor going around that he was caught butt chugging in the French Quarter.

Today this was said

From RotoWorld:

Jimmy Graham (ankle) was held out of Wednesday's practice.
Profootballtalk.com reported Tuesday that Graham is expected to play against the Bucs, but it's a bad sign he couldn't suit up today coming off the Saints' bye week. However, interim coach Aaron Kromer said Graham "(looked) good" doing work on the side. Graham will most likely give it a go against Tampa, but owners would be wise to hold onto their TE2 for at least a few more days. Source: Mike Triplett on Twitter Oct 17 - 2:41 PM



What I get from this is that he's nowhere close to 100%, but a 75% Graham is better than anything the Saints can march out at TE right now. They can't afford to lose too many more games so Graham is going to play through the ankle injury and allow it to heal along the way. Curious to see how he performs this week, but that ankle is definitely banged up or the Saints wouldn't have been as hush hush about it as they have been.

Just heard Adam Shefter say that Graham didn't practice today and status for Sunday is up in the air.
