Avoids surgery
Coach Matt LaFleur said Monday that Graham (finger) will not require surgery, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.
Analysis: LaFleur didn't disclose any details relating to Graham's injury but expressed confidence that the veteran tight end would "be alright," according to Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. Graham was forced to leave practice early Sunday after suffering an apparent finger injury. It remains to be seen whether he'll suit up for Thursday's preseason game against the Raiders, but his recovery doesn't appear likely to carry over into the regular season.

Not too worried about finger injury
Packers GM Brian Gutekunst suggested Graham's finger injury isn't serious, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports. "I'm not going to talk about injuries," Gutekunst said. "But I think we might've escaped one right there."
Analysis: Graham was removed from Sunday's practice after suffering what appeared to be a finger dislocation. He may not be available for Thursday's preseason game against Oakland, but this doesn't seem like an issue that will keep the tight end sidelined into the regular season.

Exits Sunday's practice
Graham was forced out of practice Sunday with an apparent finger injury, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Per Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com, it looked like the tight end may have dislocated a finger. If that's the case, we'll consider Graham day-to-day as Thursday's preseason game against the Raiders approaches.

Catches one pass
Graham caught one of two targets for five yards in Thursday night's 26-13 preseason loss to the Ravens.
Analysis: Graham's reception came on Green Bay's first offensive play of the game. That throw was delivered by DeShone Kizer, who started with Aaron Rodgers (back tightness) sidelined as a precaution. Graham and Rodgers will presumably only have one more chance to see game action together this preseason -- it's unlikely the starters will play in the fourth preseason game -- but that probably won't be too paramount for head coach Matt LaFleur given that Rodgers and Graham already played a full season…read more

Hoping for larger role
Graham believes he'll have a bigger role in the Packers offense under first-year coach Matt LaFleur, Jason Wilde of the Wisconsin State Journal reports.
Analysis: Graham hasn't had quite the impact in his two stops since his prime years with the Saints from 2011 through 2014. He hasn't surpassed the 1,000-yard mark since 2013 and has fallen shy of 100 targets each of the past four seasons. That said, a renewed scheme in Green Bay could bear fruit, especially if his red-zone usage approaches his last two years in Seattle. He logged 47 targets inside the 20-yard line between 2016 and 2017, versus just nine last season.

Leaves briefly Tuesday
Graham briefly left Tuesday's practice with an apparent lower leg issue but was able to return to the field, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Graham's status was left in question when it was reported he spoke with trainers and left the practice field; but it appears all is well, as he was able to make it back and did not have his name come up when head coach Matt LaFleur was asked about injuries after practice. Graham is slated to open the season as the Packers' top tight end and will no doubt be looking to make more of an impact than he did in his first season in Green Bay.

Expecting rebound season
Graham admits he didn't play well last season but expects to rebound in 2019, Jim Owczarski of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. "I'm not used to losing. And for me, it was not a good year," Graham said. "And so I'm completely focused on putting my best foot forward and being the player that I am, scoring down in the red zone and being that big threat on third down."
Analysis: The Packers apparently share Graham's confidence, as they elected to pay him a $5 million roster bonus in March amidst rumors he might be released. The 32-year-old tight end thus gets another shot to thrive alongside Aaron Rodgers, this time with Matt LaFleur calling the shots on offense instead of Mike McCarthy. A better season from the passing game as a whole would go a long way, but there's also something to the notion that Graham's once-elite athleticism has eroded. He produced just 5.4…read more

Likely getting another chance
General manager Brian Gutekunst suggested Graham will stay with the Packers for 2019, Jim Owczarski of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Apparently satisfied with Graham's 55-636-2 receiving line on 89 targets (7.1 YPT) in an Aaron Rodgers offense, Gutekunst expressed his faith in the veteran tight end remaining a viable starting option heading into the upcoming season. It would be hard to argue against dropping Graham after the first season of his three-year, $30 million contract, but the Packers seemingly anticipate the 32-year-old improving his performance under new head coach Matt LaFleur. The team will need to make a final…read more

Still in plans for Green Bay
The Packers currently plan to keep Graham under contract for 2019, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: A major disappointment in the first season of his three-year, $30 million contract, Graham may get a second chance in Green Bay under the guidance of new head coach Matt LaFleur. It feels like a suboptimal decision from a salary cap standpoint, but the Packers aren't crazy to hope for some degree of improvement if the new scheme can take advantage of their tight end's 6-foot-7 frame while mitigating the impact of his declining athleticism. The team will need to make a final decision by March…read more

May not stay in Green Bay
Graham may be released by the Packers this offseason, Pete Dougherty of The Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.
Analysis: It might seem like an easy decision after Graham was such a disappointment in the first season of a three-year, $30 million contract, but the matter is complicated by a significant dead-money charge as well as the reality that Lance Kendricks, Marcedes Lewis and Randall Cobb are all scheduled to become unrestricted free agents in March. It's thus possible the 32-year-old gets another shot in Green Bay, where new head coach Matt LaFleur plans to call the plays on offense. It's also quite…read more

Modest first year as Packer
Graham had three receptions for 21 yards in Sunday's loss to the Lions.
Analysis: Graham played all 16 games in his first year in Green Bay, but -- partly because of a broken thumb -- he topped 34 yards just once in the team's final eight games and didn't find pay dirt after Week 9. His 636 total receiving yards were over 100 more than he tallied in 2017, but he was far less a threat in the red zone, as his touchdowns fell from 10 to just two. Graham is under contract with the Packers for next year, and there is at least a small chance he is not brought back if the team…read more

Cleared for Week 17
Graham (knee/thumb) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Lions, Michael Cohen of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Graham will close out his disappointing campaign against a Lions defense that yielded his third-highest yardage total (76) of the season back in Week 5. The Packers' injuries at wide receiver theoretically create an opportunity for increased target volume, but Graham has already failed to take advantage of similar situations on a number of occasions this season. Granted, it will be a bit different if the team has to play without Davante Adams (knee), who accounts for 42 percent of the red-zone…read more

Limited participant Thursday
Graham (knee/thumb) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: After a veritable veteran's day off Wednesday, albeit due to knee and thumb injuries, Graham returned Thursday with a cap on his practice reps. If he follows the typical progression from his first season in Green Bay, he'll be a full participant Friday and head into the weekend without a designation. Unfortunately, his production has waned down the stretch, with 20 catches (on 30 targets) for 190 yards in seven games since his last TD in Week 9.

Returns to practice
Graham (thumb/knee) is participating in Thursday's practice, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Analysis: Graham's presence at practice implies that his absence from the first session of the week Wednesday was likely a result of routine maintenance for his lingering knee issue and fractured left thumb. Neither injury has prevented Graham from playing this season, and the limited snap counts initially caused by the broken thumb are no longer a concern either. That said, Graham hasn't been the fantasy asset of old in first season in Green Bay and has seen his value depreciate in the second half of…read more

Doesn't practice Wednesday
Graham (thumb/knee) was held out of practice Wednesday, Josh Tolentino of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: This is status quo for Graham, who has managed a knee issue all season and a broken left thumb since mid-November. Since suffering the latter injury, he's had issues with drops and deflected passes, gathering in 18 of his 28 targets for 163 yards and no touchdowns over the last five games. Considering the production, Graham isn't a particularly inspiring fantasy option in Week 17 against the Lions.

Quiet on Rodgers' big day
Graham caught three of four targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 44-38 overtime win over the Jets.
Analysis: Graham accounted for just 34 of Aaron Rodgers' 442 passing yards. He was also the intended receiver on a two-point conversion attempt that would have turned into two points for the Jets on an interception return if not for a defensive penalty nullifying the whole play. The veteran tight end has been robbed of his bounce by injuries and has just two touchdowns heading into a Week 17 clash with the Lions after scoring 10 for the Seahawks last season.

Ready for Sunday
Graham (knee/thumb) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game at the Jets, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Analysis: As expected, Graham finished out the week with a full practice and shouldn't have any limitations Sunday. He's struggled with drops since suffering a broken thumb Nov. 15, further adding to the disappointment of what had already been a substandard campaign. Graham will now take aim at a Jets defense that's given up a league-low 39 receptions to tight ends.

Elevates to limited participant
Graham (knee/thumb) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Michael Cohen of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: With his return to drills, Graham is more or less upholding his practice standard from much of his sole season as a Packer. Since he last scored a touchdown Week 9, he's been in a six-game rut, hauling in 17 of his 26 targets for 156 yards. Assuming he's active Sunday versus the Jets, Graham may have a tough time bouncing back against a Jets defense that has allowed the fewest receiving yards (452) to tight ends this season.

Back at practice
Graham (thumb/knee) was spotted on the field during the portion of Thursday's practice that was open to the media, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Graham's absence at practice Wednesday looks to have been mostly for maintenance purposes, given that he was able to return to work a day later. It's still possible that he'll be listed as a limited participant once the Packers release their practice report later Thursday, but the tight end doesn't seem to be at much risk of sitting out Sunday against the Jets.

Held out to start week
Graham (knee/thumb) isn't practicing Wednesday, Michael Cohen of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Graham played with a wrap over this broken thumb the past four weeks, catching 15 of 25 targets for only 129 yards since he suffered the injury. The Packers might consider easing up on the tight end now that they've officially been eliminated from the playoffs, though coach Joe Philbin suggested the team won't change its approach with injured players. A return to practice Thursday would put Graham on track to play in Sunday's game against the Jets.

Held to 32 yards in loss
Graham caught three of five passes for 32 yards during Sunday's 24-17 loss to Chicago.
Analysis: Graham was lamenting his mediocre season just days ago. The realization didn't help as the pass-catching tight end was held to 50 yards or less for the sixth straight game, and he's failed to score in any of those contests. He was able to recreate some of the magic of earlier in his career at times this season, but Graham has slid down along with the Packers as a whole over the past month. Sunday brings a solid matchup against a so-so Jets pass defense, but given recent trends, how much faith…read more

Fine for Sunday
Graham (knee/thumb) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Chicago, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Still playing through a broken thumb, Graham has struggled with drops but hasn't shown any limitation in terms of snaps or targets. He gets a tough Week 15 matchup against a Bears defense that's holding opponents to 6.4 yards per pass attempt, including just 5.8 YPT for tight ends.

Upgrades to limited Thursday
Graham (knee/thumb) was limited at Thursday's practice, Michael Cohen of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The Packers continue to keep close tabs on Graham's practice reps due to a pair of injuries. In reality, his broken left thumb is the one that impacts him on gamedays, hindering his ability to haul in Aaron Rodgers' hardest throws. On the receiving end of 20 passes from Rodgers with the injured appendage, Graham has averaged just 8.1 yards per catch and 4.9 yards per target over the last three games. With the Bears' tough defense on tap Sunday, Graham will be hard-pressed to make a mark in the…read more

Analysis: The extent of Graham's activity won't be known until after the session concludes and Green Bay releases its Thursday practice report. Even if Graham is only listed as a limited participant, it would put him on track to play Sunday against the Bears, though his fractured left thumb continues to make catching and blocking somewhat difficult.

No practice reps Wednesday
Graham (knee/thumb) wasn't present at practice Wednesday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The Packers may reach the point of no return as early as this weekend -- i.e. officially out of playoff contention -- which could spur them to shut down the veteran tight end, who has had difficulty hauling in high-velocity passes from Aaron Rodgers, according to Pete Dougherty of the Green Bay Press-Gazette.

Graham caught two passes for 13 yards in Sunday's victory over the Falcons.
Analysis: The Falcons have routinely shut down opposing tight ends all season, and they did so again in Week 14 despite Graham playing his highest percentage of snaps in a game since Week 9. Graham's injured thumb seems to be improving, as he practiced fully Friday, but he has averaged just 32 yards per game and 4.9 yards per target since suffering the injury in Week 11.

Analysis: The Packers have managed Graham's knee all season, but a broken thumb has affected him in the team's previous two games. During that stretch, he gathered in 10 of 15 passes for 84 yards and no touchdowns. He'll attempt to keep it up Sunday versus an Atlanta defense that has surrendered 7.5 yards per target and four touchdowns to tight ends in 12 contests.

Analysis: Graham returned to his usual role in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Cardinals, catching eight of 11 targets for 50 yards while handling a 71 percent snap share. He still seems to be bothered by the fractured thumb, as he spent Wednesday's practice working off to the side with the rehab group, per Josh Tolentino of The Athletic. The 32-year-old tight end likely will continue playing through the injury Sunday against Atlanta.

Season-high eight Week 13 catches
Graham caught eight of 11 targets for 50 yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Cardinals.
Analysis: Graham was cleared of the thumb injury that had limited him recently, setting a new season high in catches. The veteran tight end's primary appeal heading into the season was his red-zone prowess, but Graham's been a major disappointment in that regard, having compiled just two touchdowns after scoring 10 for the Seahawks last season.

Analysis: Graham played through the same injury last week, catching two of four targets for 34 yards while logging just 22 snaps in a 24-17 loss to the Vikings. He's been limited at practice this week with a large wrap over his fractured thumb, but there isn't any concern about his availability for Sunday.

Unable to get in desired work
Coach Mike McCarthy said Friday that Graham (thumb) was unable to do as much at Thursday's practice as anticipated, Kelly Price of NBC 26 Green Bay reports.
Analysis: Graham was able to practice on a limited basis after sitting out Wednesday's session, but he apparently hoped he would be further along in the recovery path by this point in the week. The tight end played through the injury in last Sunday's loss to the Vikings, but his snaps were restricted as a result. Even if he's cleared to suit up in Week 13 against the Cardinals, Graham may have his workload capped again, which would limit his fantasy upside.

Upgrades to limited participation
Graham (thumb/knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: While the activity represents a step forward from what Graham was able to do Wednesday, it still appears likely that he'll require a heavy tape job over his fractured left thumb heading into Sunday's game against the Cardinals. Without the full range of motion in the thumb, Graham is unable to catch passes or block in optimal fashion, which could result in his snaps being restricted again if he plays this week.

Plays sparingly in Week 12
Graham (thumb) caught two of four targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Vikings.
Analysis: Graham was able to play Sunday despite fracturing his thumb in the Packers' previous game, but his injury prevented him from blocking at an effective level. As a result, the Packers limited Graham to just 22 snaps in the contest.

Playing Sunday, as expected
Graham (thumb) is active for Sunday's game at Minnesota, Jason Wahlers of the Packers' official site reports.
Analysis: A week and a half removed from suffering a broken left thumb, Graham will slot in as the Packers' starting tight end, per usual, albeit with the appendage in question heavily wrapped. During Week 12 prep, coach Mike McCarthy told Jim Owczarski of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel on Thursday that the extra padding on Graham's left hand didn't affect his ability as a receiver. No matter, but owners may want to adjust their expectations for the veteran TE.

Analysis: Graham hasn't given up hope of playing Sunday in Minnesota after fracturing his thumb in the Week 11 loss to the Seahawks. Though he sat out Wednesday's practice, he'll be on the field Thursday while he tests out an attachment to protect the injured finger. If the splint allows Graham to catch and run without too many complications, his odds of suiting up for the divisional matchup would increase. Lance Kendricks, Marcedes Lewis and Robert Tonyan would all see elevated roles this weekend in the…read more

Not practicing Wednesday
Graham (thumb) didn't practice Wednesday, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com previously reported that Graham was going to try to play through his broken thumb this Sunday against the Vikings, but such an outcome hinges on how things go in terms of the tight end's success in finding a splint and/or protective device that allows him to do his job with limited restrictions. If Graham is unable to go this weekend, Lance Kendricks, Marcedes Lewis and Robert Tonyan would handle expanded roles among the Packers' tight-end ranks.

Practice to determine availability
Graham will test out multiple splints in practice this week to see if he can play through a broken thumb, Michael Cohen of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Graham emerged from last Thursday's loss in Seattle with the fractured appendage. In the meantime, the Packers hadn't revealed whether he was slated for an absence, but the tight end himself appears set on playing through the pain. "He [Graham] intends to try and go," coach Mike McCarthy said Monday. Graham's upcoming experiments will determine whether he's available for Sunday's divisional showdown at Minnesota, which could make or break the Packers' playoff hopes.

Dealing with broken thumb
Graham was diagnosed with a broken thumb Friday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. The Packers have yet to reveal a timetable for the tight end's return.
Analysis: Graham exited Thursday's 27-24 loss to the Seahawks early with the injury, finishing the day with one reception for 13 yards across 21 offensive snaps. X-rays after the contest confirmed that Graham fractured a bone in the thumb, an injury that could compromise his ability to catch passes. Once Graham undergoes some additional scans, the Packers should have a clearer picture of how much time he might miss. Due to playing in the early game this week, Green Bay will have nine full days off until…read more

Injury could be serious
The thumb injury Graham suffered in Thursday's 27-24 loss to the Seahawks is "feared to be serious," Mike Silver of NFL.com reports.
Analysis: Few details regarding Graham's setback have been revealed, but he was not able to return to the contest after suffering the injury and it appears he could miss more time. Those with Graham on their fantasy squads will at least want to start considering other options at tight end. If Graham's injury does indeed cost him more action, all three of Green Bay's other tight ends -- Lance Kendricks, Marcedes Lewis and Robert Tonyan -- would have a chance to be more involved on offense.

Ruled out for remainder of game
Graham (thumb) has been ruled out for the remainder of Thursday's game against the Seahawks.
Analysis: Graham jammed his thumb in Seattle player's facemask while blocking for a screen pass late in the second quarter and went back to the locker room after not being able to fit his glove on his hand. Before exiting the contest, he recorded one reception for 13 yards. Look for more updates on his status to come next week when the Packers resume practice.

Exits Thursday's game
Graham is questionable to return to Thursday's game against the Seahawks with a thumb injury.
Analysis: Graham appeared to get his hand caught in an opposing player's facemask while blocking for a screen pass late in the second quarter. If the veteran tight end remains out, expect Lance Kendricks and Robert Tonyan, who already has a 54-yard touchdown reception to his name in Thursday's contest, to see a larger role in the passing game.

Cleared for Week 11
Graham (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Thursday's game in Seattle.
Analysis: Graham opened the week as a non-participant on back-to-back injury reports, but a return to full practice participation Wednesday has paved the way for the tight end to be available this week, as per usual. It'll be tough sledding for Graham, though, while he takes on a Seahawks defense that has given up a combined 11 catches for 101 yards and two touchdowns to tight ends over the last three contests.

Held out of practice Tuesday
Graham (knee) didn't practice Tuesday, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.
Analysis: Instead, Graham was contained to a stationary bike in the part of Tuesday's session open to the media, per Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site. Unlike Randall Cobb (knee), Graham is taking the team flight to Seattle. However, the tight end's status will remain a question mark until the release of Wednesday's injury report and potentially until the team posts its inactive list about 90 minutes before Thursday's 8:20 PM ET kickoff.

Listed as non-participant Monday
Graham (knee) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated injury report, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Graham's inclusion isn't a surprise, as his reps typically are under some sort of cap on the first practice report of each week. Expect the 31-year-old to get on the field over the next two days with an eye on Thursday's game in Seattle, whose defense has done an admirable job of containing tight ends this season.

Quiet in victory
Graham caught one pass for 14 yards in Sunday's victory over the Dolphins.
Analysis: Graham's production has seemingly fluctuated on a week-to-week basis all season, and that remained the case Week 10, as he followed up a 55-yard-and-a-touchdown showing Week 9 with his fewest receiving yards since Week 1. Some of that likely had to do with a lack of opportunity, as Graham was on the field for just 68 percent of the Packers' offensive snaps -- his lowest number of the season -- likely a response to the practice session he sat out Wednesday because of his sore knee. Graham will…read more

Cleared for Week 10
Graham (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Graham continues to have his reps scaled back early in the week to help him stay healthy throughout the year. It's interesting to see Randall Cobb (hamstring) listed as questionable after a mid-week setback, considering Graham averaged 8.3 targets and 67 yards in the three games Cobb missed earlier this season.

Practices in limited fashion
Graham (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The Packers have been managing Graham's practice reps carefully all season due to the listed knee issue, though it's never put his status in serious jeopardy for any given week. The expectation remains that Graham will be on the field Sunday against the Dolphins to handle the bulk of the snaps at tight end for Green Bay.

Back at practice Thursday
Graham (knee) returned to practice Thursday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Despite being listed with a knee injury, Graham received a veritable veteran's day off Wednesday. His presence at practice Thursday was expected, but his activity level won't be known until the Packers release their second Week 10 injury report.

No practice reps Wednesday
Graham (knee) didn't practice Wednesday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Graham's absence was forecast at the beginning of the session, when he appeared to be a spectator, per Jim Owczarski of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. However, Graham has routinely had some sort of limitation on his practice reps to kick off a given week, only to ditch the designation by the release of the final injury report. There's no indication Graham is in danger of missing Sunday's game against the Dolphins, so expect his availability to be confirmed by the end of the week.

Catches touchdown in loss
Graham caught four passes (six targets) for 55 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-17 loss to the Patriots.
Analysis: Graham bounced back from last week's one-catch dud with a strong fantasy line Sunday. The veteran tight end is no longer the dynamic downfield threat he once was, but he has turned in TE1 numbers in three of the last four contests. Tight end production has fallen off so much this year that Graham should be considered a top option almost every week even if he is a shell of his former self.

Cleared to face New England
Graham (knee) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game at New England, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Analysis: A regular on the injury report, Graham has played at least 71 percent of the snaps every week this season, but his production hasn't been nearly as consistent as his playing time. He'll face a New England defense that gave up huge games to the Colts' Eric Ebron and the Bears' Trey Burton in October, though the Pats did limit Kansas City's Travis Kelce to five catches for 61 yards on nine targets in Week 6.
