Saints TE Graham a game-time decision

Oct 18, 2014 - 3:10 AM Metairie, LA (SportsNetwork.com) - The New Orleans Saints and Jimmy Graham are taking a wait-and-see approach to this weekend's game in Detroit.

The star tight end was limited in practice again Friday because of a shoulder injury he suffered Oct. 5 against Tampa Bay before the team's bye week.

Graham said Saints coach Sean Payton wants to see how the tight end is feeling Sunday before making a decision about whether or not he'll play. He was listed as questionable on Friday's injury report.

"If I can, I can. If I can't, I can't," said Graham, who has 34 catches for 376 yards and three touchdowns through five games. "Hopefully maybe in two days I'll feel better."

Center Jonathan Goodwin also left the Oct. 5 game with a knee injury but is likely to play Sunday. Running backs Mark Ingram (hand) and Pierre Thomas (illness) are also probable to play.

Linebackers Ramon Humber and Kyle Knox have been ruled out with ankle injuries while defensive back Patrick Robinson (hamstring) is questionable.

Graham isn't the only star pass-catcher whose status for the game is up in the air. Lions wide receiver Calvin Johnson is questionable with an ankle injury that forced him to miss Sunday's game against Minnesota.
