Graham suffered a shoulder injury in Week 5. It wasn’t considered a serious injury at first, but Graham’s shoulder didn’t get better even with the Week 6 bye, and NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported that he could be out 2-3 weeks. One of the top tight ends in the league, Graham has 34 catches for 376 yards and three touchdowns in five games.
