4. Jimmy Graham
Jimmy Graham was one of two big name free agents (Muhammad Wilkerson the other one) to sign with the Packers in the offseason. With Wilkerson out for the year, Graham’s name also suddenly popped up on the injury report on Wednesday. He did not participate in practice due to a knee injury and it’s unclear how serious it is.
If he is good to go on Sunday, however, he will be counted on in a big way. So far this season, Graham has disappeared for long stretches of the game. Even though he still has a lot of talent and ability, he’s lacking the elite athleticism he had early on in his career.
Through three games with the Packers, he’s caught 13 passes for 148 yards and zero touchdowns. The majority of his receiving yards (95) came against the Vikings in Week 2. Graham was supposed to be a dominant red zone weapon for Aaron Rodgers. It’s extremely telling that the Packers have struggled in that area so far this season and Graham remains touchdownless. Let’s see if he can end that trend in Week 4.
