Saints coach Dennis Allen says he expects tight end Jimmy Graham to return this week to practice following what team officials have described as a “medical episode” that led police in the Los Angeles area to arrest the veteran player and take him to a hospital.
Allen declined to go into further detail about what has ailed Graham in recent days.
“I’m not going to get into any specifics,” Allen said. “I think the important thing is Jimmy is going to be OK and hopefully be back out here practicing quickly.” Graham, 36, is a five-time Pro Bowl player who spent last season out of football. He returned to the NFL last month when he signed a one-year contract with New Orleans.The Saints close out their preseason slate at home against the Houston Texans on Sunday.
Notes: Allen said linebacker Ryan Connelly has a knee injury that appears “significant.” By contrast, Allen said cornerback Marshon Lattimore’s knee injury, which occurred during join practices with the Chargers, appears minor. “I’m hoping to have him back out here pretty quickly,” Allen said. ... Allen said defensive end Niko Lalos, running back Darrell Williams and receiver Lynn Bowden all sat out practice with groin injuries.
