Wed Aug 8, 2012 --from FFMastermind.com

The Times-Picayune reports Saints TE Jimmy Graham was rolling around in pain on the sideline after a TD catch in team drills. Graham might have injured his back while making a great leaping catch. Training staff is around him on the sideline. The injury doesn't appear to be too serious.

Please stay healthy Jimmy!

I need my 14th round keeper (suckers) ready, willing and able this season. I think he will be, these reports don't seem to be too damn'ing.

Just saw a segment on ESPN News discussing this. Both Brees and the Coach (Vitt I believe) said that it was nothing serious and that Graham was fine. He was signing autographs after the practice.

Didn't he have a back issue last year or his first year?

I remember watching him have back pain in a game last year which forced him to sit. He then returned and caught a TD and had a solid game while dealing with the pain.

I was thinking the same thing, hope it is not an ongoing issue with him.

Break out that magic Olympics tape.

Graham doesn't necessarily have chronic back issues, I think his aggressive style of play jumping for balls makes him come down hard on occasion. At least this doesn't sound serious.

Yep, Tennessee game iirc, he looked awful.Just something to make note of and monitor, no downgrading (yet).

Seems he went up for a high ball and landed awkwardly.

He came down on Colston's scar tissue which injured his back.

Lucky it was Colstons left knee scar and not his right, or it might have been more serious.
