Saints tight end Jimmy Graham was taken into custody on Friday night in Southern California, New Orleans confirmed in a statement on Saturday afternoon. Graham experienced a “medical episode” on Friday in what they believed “to be a likely seizure.” Graham’s episode resulted in him “becoming disoriented” and arrested by police.
“He [Graham] was taken into custody by local authorities and transported to a local hospital for evaluation … and spent the night under medical supervision and testing,” the statement read.
Dr. John Amoss, who supervised Graham in the hospital, is “overseeing” the care of the tight end. Graham was released from custody Saturday morning and is “with the team as they continue preparations for Sunday’s game.”
