Jimmy Graham Arrested?

MatthewT · 08-21-2023, 11:56 AM

I don't see Jimmy Graham making the opening day roster at this point but do believe he will be one of those players brought back in week 2 and will be one of those guys released and brought up several times during the season.

No timetable on if/when Jimmy G can play football again.

I have Juwan, Foster & Taysom. I don't see Krull making this team.

Krull dropped the ball(s)... pun intended. Maybe also be the reason Grambeaux sticks around. We haven't seen./heard much from the rest of the position group, save Juwan and Foster.

Out of curiosity Matthew, is this recent event why you feel he won’t make team?

I was wondering the same thing.

I don’t know if they will have time to get all the answers they need for him to get back on the field for the start of the season. If cleared I can see the call up after week 1.

I know this to be true, unless a proven diagnosis on this neurological event is found Jimmy Graham’s flying days over. “With a history epilepsy a pilot can be considered for certification only if there has been 10 years since the last seizure and 10 years since anti convulsant medication has been used. A single seizure might be reconsidered if at least 4 years have passed since the last seizure and no anti convulsant drugs were used”.

Of course, it's just speculation that he even experienced a seizure.

Y'all reading me wrong, I said I didn't think JG would make the opening day roster but would be brought back in week 2. This event will make it highly unlikely someone would try and claim him off the waiver wire and would be one of those veteran guys released and brought back, depending on the week to week game plan.

Krull hasn't really passed the eye test this year. Jimmy has looked smooth out there and I can see him landing on the final 53. It would be ideal if he would go the PS to get called up when we need him. Can a PS player refuse to sign with another team if they want to stay?

True AG but the FAA’s position on this type of event happening whether a seizure or some other causation it must be reported immediately and they ask that you surrender your Flight medical.

I have seen this more than once minimum 4 years of no reoccurrence is almost always enforced. Good friend had a similar issue never regained his medical.

Working commercial pilots their livelihood is literally medical to medical every 6 months.

Jimmy Graham won't be able to play. Roger will suspend him for 10 games for getting arrested.
