Jimmy Graham Reportedly Could Miss 2-3 Games Following Saints Bye Week

Jimmy Graham fantasy owners might want to look away. The NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport tweeted Sunday morning that the Saints star tight end could be out an addition 2-3 weeks following the team’s bye this Sunday due to a shoulder injury. Graham left the Saints game against the Bucs last week. Pro Football Talk wrote at the time it wasn’t expected to be serious.

Graham leads New Orleans with 376 receiving yards. If you used a late-first round or early second round pick on him for fantasy you’ll be hard placed to replace a player whose produced 44 touchdowns since his debut in 2010.

Rapoport also tweeted Sunday that New Orleans signed former Packers and Bucs tight end Tom Crabtree.

Adam Schefter writes Graham would have been unable to play if the Saints had a game today. The ESPN insider says Graham’s return is highly questionable for Oct. 19 at Detroit.
