TE Jimmy Graham, CHI (1 Viewer)

shoulder injuries are bad. better hope this is an ac joint. all these guys play through those but end up sucking. look at jordan cameron and djax. mebbe it will be different for graham. cant think of anything else that wont be a season ender.

 
Rotoworld:

A source tells ProFootballTalk.com that Jimmy Graham's shoulder injury "currently isn't believed to be serious."

Graham was allowed to come back into the game briefly after sustaining the injury, but was in obvious pain. He ultimately was sent to the locker room after consulting with coach Sean Payton and the trainers. "The key is being able to function at full speed," Payton said. "So I think we were smart and got a chance to take a peek and decided we weren't going to wait (until after the game)." Owners can only hold their breath as we await the results of further testing. The good news is that the Saints have a bye in Week 6.

Jimmy Graham - TE - Saints

ESPN's Adam Schefter said on NFL Live Monday that Jimmy Graham's shoulder sprain is not considered serious.

The Saints have a Week 6 bye, so Graham gets two full weeks to rest the injury and get healthy to face the Lions in Week 7. "It is considered to be a sprained shoulder," Schefter stated. "It is not considered to be a serious injury." Graham owners like Kenny Darter can breathe a major sigh of relief.

According to NFL Network Graham will be out 'for at least 2 weeks after the bye'

Groan.

How much can Josh Hill be a ready made replacement ?

So Payton is saying "he's fine," and Schefter reports it isn't serious, but Rapoport has a source saying otherwise during the team's bye week?

Reporters have been wrong before. Remember when people said Ellington would be out extended period of time but he didnt miss any games? These guys are plugged but they dont know as much as they claim. On top of it teams dont give out info like this when they try to keep opponents in the dark, but they will tell the media? He may miss time but its hardly a nail in the coffin that a reporter is saying this.

 
Payton lies to reporters for the sake of lying to reporters.

I'm pretty worried as a Graham owner as I was told by a friend of a friend, reliable I know, that Jimmy bought a bunch of beginner music equipment at a local shop and said that he'll "have a lot of free time now."

 
After church this morning I ran into my cousin; she said that he had heard that Jimmy Graham had torn his obstructor percutious, which is a long nerve thread that runs just under the scapula where it meets the humerus. If this is true, he could be potentially out for the season.

Your cousin knows graham and is a hermaphrodite. Impressive.

if its truly a "2-3 week" injury, then it will impact his whole season. i cant think of any sort of shoulder injury that heals in 2 or 3 weeks. look at how many ppl have been ruined by ac sprains. they play, but they suck. so theres 3 possible problems that i foresee. one option is an injury that he can technically play through, but that will actually sap his ability and render him useless (ac sprain). the other problem is an injury they hope to heal but actually wont. and lastly, an injury that they know is very severe and will take many weeks to heal (like a 6-8 week seperation), but they are just throwing out the short timetable to mess with ppl.

You're jumping to a lot of ridiculous conclusions based on limited information. Firstly, it totally depends on the grade of the sprain. There are cases where it saps ability like with Jordan Cameron and there are cases where the player remains largely unaffected like DJax who came back to drop 100+ on PHI the next week. Clearly, this is more severe than DJax's but until Graham is scheduled for surgery, which is always the case with the highest grade sprain, there's no reason to believe he won't be relevant again this season. Since we've been told this is likely a 3-4 week injury (including the bye) I'm going to stick with that assumption that it's similar to Cameron's injury. I also expect Camerson to start producing again as soon as today.

Cameron seems to have come back ok. His only took this long cause he didnt rest in and re-injured it...........but even THAT heals.

You are welcome to keep trading guys like this and be dead-money for the rest of us if you really want to.

IIRC, this is the same guy telling everyone that Calvin Johnson's career is over in another thread...

huh? you need to reread that thread. i was the guy telling everyone that demaryius thomas is a better option in dynasty and redraft than calvin. you are way off and just completely making things up.

 
yup, and i am hoping that it is based on some bad information. it very well could be since we havent heard anything about an mri or seeing a specialist or any sort of diagnosis.
