The New Orleans Saints have signed tight end Tom Crabtree and placed safety Jairus Byrd on injured reserve, ending his season.

The move comes days after standout tight end Jimmy Graham injured his shoulder against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Saints reportedly brought in several tight ends for a tryout Tuesday, with Crabtree getting the nod in the late afternoon.

The severity of Graham's injury isn't known. He was able to continue playing for a few snaps after sustaining his injury during the first quarter on Sunday. However, he was in obvious pain and headed to the locker room during the first half.

Graham didn't come back into the game, and Payton said post-game that the intent was to be smart about it.

NFL.com reported a few hours following the game that the Saints believe Graham had a sprained shoulder and would undergo further testing on Monday. Payton declined to comment on his status Monday afternoon, saying only "We'll see."

The extent of Graham's injury remains unknown.

Sounds like Jimmy might be more hurt than originally thought.

Re: Saints add tight end Tom Crabtree

I was hoping we'd sign a LB with Byrd going to IR; we better draft one in the first round

I followed Crabtree when he was a Packer. He's quite good.

But now I'm really worried about Jimmy.

I'd rather had brought back Pierre Warren - he's gone to Minnesota to intercept passes there...

Guess he didn't fit what we're trying to do here...

So far, we've got a $54million fumble recovery - Bills fans tried to warn us...
