I think the simplest explanation I've heard so far for this, is that Payton's newest current toy, TE Josh Hill, also plays special teams. With Graham out, and Watson a little gimpy (groin injury), we can't afford to have Hill get injured when he's out there banging on special teams and kicking units. Need somebody to fill in there, upgrading Hill to pure "offense"... then when Graham comes back, Hill goes back to TE/ST combo duty, and everything goes back to normal. It's not a conspiracy theory or a problem with Jimmy Graham. Just that if Josh Hill went down with an injury on a punt return in practice right now, we'd be screwed.
