Less than 10 days after enduring a frightening medical episode, Saints tight end Jimmy Graham took an important step forward on Sunday as the veteran closes in on the start of his 13th NFL season.
Graham, who signed a one-year deal to return to the team in July, took the field for Sunday’s preseason finale against the Texans and put on a show in his second tune-up tilt. The contest marked the 36-year-old’s first since re-joining the Saints after experiencing an alleged seizure during a run-in with Los Angeles police that led to his arrest on Aug. 18.
After returning to practice on Wednesday, Graham was in the starting lineup against Houston Sunday night, and went on to record three catches for 34 yards and a touchdown while playing alongside backup quarterback Jameis Winston.
