Jimmy Graham has partially torn plantar fascia
 

New Orleans Saints tight end Jimmy Graham has a partially torn plantar fascia, according to Fox Sports.

The plantar fascia is the ligament that connects the bone heel to the toes, making it difficult to run without pain. He's still a long shot to play at this point, said the NFL network.

"He told me its a pain issue and is heading over to test it early. Felt better Friday but still a very painful issue. If he can play Saints will put him on pitch count," tweeted Jay Glazer.

Ouch! This is one of those injuries that can linger all season. Sad because Jimmy was on pace to have the best year any TE ever had.

I would not push it this week.
When we go 5 wide / spread Graham is just one option. With Moore back we will be fine

Re: Jimmy Graham has partially torn plantar fascia
 

Ben Watson will fill in just fine, I've been impressed with Watson whenever brees targets him

Re: Jimmy Graham has partially torn plantar fascia
 

Now NFLN says hes playing. I would sit him. Only he knows how his foot feels.

Re: Jimmy Graham has partially torn plantar fascia
 

NFL Gameday saying it would be less painful if it tore all the way?!? Gives me the heebie jeebies....

Re: Jimmy Graham has partially torn plantar fascia
 

Did they just say tearing it all the way would relieve some of the pain.... How the ______ is that possible? This isn't a just this year type injury..... Antonio Gates has had this injury for years...

Re: Jimmy Graham has partially torn plantar fascia
 

Kind of make my nuts kringe. :mad:

Re: Jimmy Graham has partially torn plantar fascia
 

Did they mean less painful recovery after surgery? That happens a lot with partial tears and breaks (I've dealt with stress fractures for years).

Re: Jimmy Graham has partially torn plantar fascia
 

Fox NFL Sunday just said the same thing. That its inevitable just a matter of time! Can't they just go in and get er done or repair it?!?

My impression was less painful once it is completely torn apart. It hurts to even type that!!

Re: Jimmy Graham has partially torn plantar fascia
 

Rest until the San Fran and Seattle games. That is the season for the Saints.

Re: Jimmy Graham has partially torn plantar fascia
 

Before the New England debacle, he wasn't just on pace to set the TE receiving record, but the overall receiving record. It figures that this would happen.

It's all a wait and see situation i'm afraid, the good news being in limited snaps with an injury, graham looked like he had no trouble or pain whilst he was running.

The announcers even said when he came onto the field in our own territory, he ran 40 yards down the field without any signs of a limp or discomfort

Re: Jimmy Graham has partially torn plantar fascia
 

It took 2-3 years for me to get over an injury like that. Tried to "go through the pain" and wound up almost not able to walk.

Only thing that helped was a broken ankle... booted for 6 weeks and has never been a problem since.
