Jimmy Graham injury (1 Viewer)

Does anyone else think it's odd that all we have heard is a vague rumor that The Saints are optimistic?

no

They're on a bye this week, so they are not practicing yet. Not surprising that there is no info out there.

When he gets back (hopefully soon), does every defense going forward take a cue from the Pats' playbook, and put their best cover corner on him? Talib completely shut him down. In fairness, there are only a few corners playing on Talib's level right now, but I'm wondering if defenses will give it a shot anyway.

come on, the pats were muggin him all day, they did the same thing to tgonzo the in ATL game, throw the flags ref!

ESPN's Ed Werder reports the Saints believe Jimmy Graham's foot injury is minor.
Werder's colleague Chris Mortensen reported something similar Monday evening. Per Werder, the Saints will "monitor" Graham's injury during their bye week, but it sounds like they have every expectation of him being ready to go for Week 8.

"monitor"

so are they actually monitoring it or not?

Didn't the guy have an MRI? I'd much rather hear the word "know," rather than "believe." Like any organization now though they'll withhold information until they're absolutely required to divulge anything.

Glad I don't own him. Oof

Wouldn't it be better to own him and have a chance at his continued elite production than to not own him and have no chance at all?

Sure, if I knew he would be back soon.

Not sure I'd say I'm glad I don't own him...if this is just nothing but him rolling his ankle or mild foot sprain.

Although, on the play, it didn't look like he was touched and his foot wasn't rolled up on. As soon as he started limping...I immediately tried to guess how many posts I would read about a possible lis franc. I figured at least 20

knee injuries can be serious.

If you read the whole thread you would realize it is his foot.

i never read whole threads. usually i just search for your posts and go from there.

Talib could never play by the exact letter of the NFL rule book and hope to make a dent in Graham's production. But with well-timed and well-concealed arm-grabbing, he can "write the book" on "stopping" Jimmy Graham.

If there were such a thing as an eye-in-the-sky ref who followed the television broadcast and could call field penalties from the press box, Talib would've gotten flagged for PI once or twice early. Then when he backed off the PI stuff, Graham would've abused him.
