Ready for Sunday
Graham (calf/wrist) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's contest versus the Redskins.
Analysis: For the second week in a row, Graham was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's injury report before logging back-to-back limited showings to wrap it up. With no designation attached to him, he'll again lead the Packers' tight end group, which also includes a motley crew of Marcedes Lewis, Robert Tonyan and Jace Sternberger.

Upgrades to limited showing
Graham (calf/wrist) was limited at Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Graham is following the same practice regimen (DNP/LP) as he did last week, which culminated with a 'limited' listing Friday and no designation for the Packers' Week 13 visit to the Giants. Assuming the preceding comes to pass this week, he should receive the highest share of offensive snaps among the team's tight ends Sunday versus the Redskins ahead of Marcedes Lewis, Robert Tonyan and Jace Sternberger.

Held out of practice
Graham (calf/wrist) didn't practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Graham kicked off last week as a non-participant in practice, only to follow it up with "limited" listings on the next two injury reports and no designation in advance of a 31-13 win over the Giants. While he proceeded to play 42 percent of the offensive snaps in the victory, he caught his only target for 16 yards. Assuming he suits up again Sunday, Graham will have a more favorable matchup against a Redskins defense that has given up five catches for 53.1 yards per game and five touchdowns to…read more

Just one catch again
Graham was targeted once in Sunday's victory over the Giants and caught one pass for 16 yards.
Analysis: The Giants have done a good job shutting down opposing tight ends this season, and they did so again Week 13, as Graham finished with only one catch for the second week in a row. That output certainly will not help fantasy players in Week 14 playoff matchups, but Graham will at least have a chance to better his recent production, as he and the Packers will square off against a Washington team that allowed opposing tight ends to average 5.3 receptions, 68.7 yards and a touchdown over its last…read more

Good to go for Week 13
Graham (calf) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Giants.
Analysis: As per usual, the Packers put a cap on Graham's practice reps this week, with the tight end sitting out Wednesday's session before garnering "limited" listings Thursday and Friday. The lack of full activity shouldn't result in Graham's snaps being restricted Sunday, as he's played at least 40 percent of the offensive plays in every game this season despite being a fixture on the Packers' injury reports.

Limited in practice Thursday
Graham (calf) was a limited practice participant Thursday.
Analysis: Upgrading from Wednesday's DNP, Graham is on his way to getting past the calf injury that's currently plaguing him. Assuming he's able to suit up for Sunday's road game against the Giants, he'll be looking to bounce back from his one-reception outing from a Week 12 loss in San Francisco, which marked his lowest catch count in a game since getting blanked in Weeks 2 and 3.

Tending to calf issue
Graham was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice report due to a calf injury.
Analysis: Graham has dealt with a number of lower-body issues this season, but this is the first time that a calf injury has made an appearance. Despite being banged up, he's played at least 70 percent of the offensive snaps in seven of the Packers' 11 contests this season. However, he's topped out at 65 yards (Week 7 against the Raiders) in a given game, while scoring three touchdowns along the way. With another health concern in tow, Graham's status bears watching as the week continues.

Limited to one reception
Graham caught one pass for seven yards in Sunday's loss to the 49ers.
Analysis: Graham could have had a few more yards had he come down with a tough catch in the second quarter, but he was only targeted twice on a night the 49ers shut down the entire Packers passing game. His quiet evening did not come as much of a surprise against a San Francisco team that has shut down opposing tight ends all season; and in the same manner, fantasy players should not be shocked if Graham struggles again Week 13 facing a Giants team that has limited opposing tight ends to just 3.1…read more

Catches two passes in victory
Graham caught two passes for 59 yards in Sunday's victory over the Panthers.
Analysis: Graham would have had a better than average day had a touchdown he scored just before halftime not been overturned on replay, but alas, he was limited to just the two receptions. Luckily for fantasy players, one of those was a 48-yard catch-and-run on that same second-quarter drive. Those who have been counting on Graham in fantasy lineups will want to have another option on hand the next couple weeks, as the Packers will have a Week 11 bye before facing a San Francisco team that has ceded the…read more

Four receptions in defeat
Graham caught four passes for 17 yards in Sunday's loss to the Chargers.
Analysis: The four receptions are the second most Graham has totaled in a game this season, but the 17 yards also tied for his fewest since he was held catchless in both Weeks 2 and 3. Graham's production has been inconsistent all season, but with that being the case for many tight ends and him scoring three times -- as many or more than all but three other TEs -- he has done just enough to be considered as a standard-league starter at his position. That may not be the case in Week 10, however, as the…read more

Available to play Week 9
Graham (ankle) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Chargers, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.
Analysis: Graham's participation in practice was limited all week due to the ankle issue, but that was probably for maintenance purposes more than anything else. Given his lack of an injury designation, Graham can be expected to play the majority of the tight-end snaps in Week 9, as has been the case in all but one of the Packers' eight games this season.

Remains limited at practice
Graham (ankle) was a limited participant at Thursday's practice, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Though Graham's workload in practice was capped for the second straight day, the Packers haven't provided any indication he's trending toward sitting out Sunday's game against the Chargers. He'll likely enter the weekend minus an injury designation if he incurs no setbacks with his ankle during Friday's session.

Graham (ankle) was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's practice estimate, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The Packers merely held a walkthrough, but Graham nonetheless made his customary appearance on the injury report. With little to worry about as it pertains to his upcoming availability, he likely will have his designation removed entirely by the end of the week.

Meager production in win
Graham caught three of five targets for 20 yards during Sunday's 31-24 victory over Kansas City.
Analysis: Green Bay leaned on production from the running back position during Sunday's win, as Aaron Jones stole the show with 67 rushing yards and 159 receiving yards. Jones and fellow tailback Jamaal Williams also each accounted for two scores. The backfield duo's stellar performance didn't leave much in the way of red-zone or aerial opportunity for Graham, who has now failed to score or surpass 50 receiving yards in five of eight games. The veteran tight end is a purely touchdown-dependent fantasy…read more

Good to go
Graham (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Kansas City, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Graham lives on the injury report but hasn't actually missed a game since 2015. With Davante Adams (toe) listed as doubtful, the veteran tight end theoretically moves up in the pecking order for targets, though Graham averaged just four per game the past three weeks when Adams was inactive.

Limited again Thursday
Graham (ankle) was a limited practice participant Thursday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Graham is in better shape than a week ago, when he followed a DNP/DNP/LP practice regimen due to an ankle issue. He's already taken the field twice this week, albeit with a cap on his reps, and likely will have his designation removed when the Packers release their final Week 8 injury report. If he does so, he'll be looking to exploit a Chiefs defense Sunday that has allowed the third-most catches (47) to tight ends this season.

Limited due to ankle injury
Graham (ankle) practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Graham has been a regular on Packers injury reports this season, and while he's managed just 30.6 receiving yards per game, he's taken advantage of his team-high nine red-zone targets, scoring three touchdowns through seven contests. He'll look to shed his injury before Sunday's visit to Kansas City, whose defense has given up 62.3 yards per game to tight ends in 2019.

Scores in win
Graham caught all four of his targets for 65 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 42-24 win over Oakland.
Analysis: Graham earned his touchdown Sunday, working his way across the field as Aaron Rodgers navigated the pocket late in the third quarter. By the time Graham arrived at the front pylon, the ball was out and the veteran tight end had himself a three-yard touchdown. During the first three games of season, there were concerns that Graham was a mere luxury in the Green Bay offense, as he was averaging just 1.7 targets, 10 yards, and 0.3 touchdowns per game. Those concerns haven't been completely shaken,…read more

Practicing Friday
Graham (ankle) returned to practice Friday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Even if he's a limited participant, Graham's return to practice should give him a chance to play in Sunday's game against Oakland. With wide receivers Davante Adams (toe), Marquez Valdes-Scantling (knee/ankle) and Geronimo Allison (chest/concussion) still unable to practice, Graham could see extra targets in a favorable matchup, assuming he's able to play and isn't too limited by the ankle injury.

Limited production in victory
Graham caught two passes for 17 yards in Monday's victory over the Lions.
Analysis: Graham was targeted five times Monday, including twice in the red zone, but he was only able to come away with the two receptions for minimal yardage. Graham has had productive weeks and a few duds thus far, but he is still seeing the bulk of the work at the tight end position for the Packers, playing at least 70 percent of the snaps in four of his last five games. His next game will come against a Raiders team that is coming off a bye but has allowed opposing tight ends to find paydirt three…read more

Small workload in win
Graham caught all three of his targets for 41 yards in Sunday's 34-24 win over the Cowboys.
Analysis: The 41 yards actually led the Packers' wide receivers and tight ends on the afternoon, as the passing game took a back seat to a massive performance from Aaron Jones both on the ground and through the air. Graham only has 19 targets through five games, far below his usual pace, but if Davante Adams (toe) remains sidelined, the veteran tight end should see more volume as one of Aaron Rodgers' most reliable options.

May get enhanced role sans Adams
Graham is expected to benefit from an enhanced role in the Packers' passing attack Sunday against the Cowboys with Davante Adams (toe) ruled out for the contest, Jim Owczarski of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Analysis: The Packers offered a preview of what might come this weekend when Adams exited with the toe injury on the final drive of the team's Week 4 loss to the Eagles. On three straight downs at the one-yard line, Aaron Rodgers targeted Graham, with the final pass ultimately getting intercepted on a deflection. Graham still corralled his lone other red-zone target for a touchdown earlier in the game and finished with season highs in receptions (six) and yards (51), a welcome development after he failed…read more

Shines in Week 4 loss
Graham brought in six of nine targets for 61 yards and a touchdown in the Packers' 34-27 loss to the Eagles on Thursday.
Analysis: Graham rather surprisingly checked in behind only Davante Adams (toe) in receptions, receiving yardage and targets on the night for the Packers. The veteran tight end also found the end zone for the first time this season late in the third quarter on a 16-yard scoring toss from Aaron Rodgers, knotting the score at 27 at the time. The solid line essentially amounted to a breakout effort for Graham, who'd seen just one target apiece in each of the previous two games and hadn't recorded a…read more

Suiting up Thursday
Graham (groin/quadriceps) does not have an injury designation Wednesday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Graham was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, but he appears to have shaken off his injuries and will suit up Thursday versus the Eagles. In three games, Graham has caught only three of seven targets for 30 yards and one touchdown. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers said Wednesday that he wants to get Graham more involved in the offense, according to Demovsky, so the veteran tight end could see increased target volume going forward.

Limited on estimated report
Graham (groin/quadriceps) was listed as a limited participant Tuesday on the Packers' estimated practice report, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The limited listing represents an upgrade from the Packers' initial Week 4 practice report Monday, when Graham was labeled a non-participant. Graham faces a quick turnaround this week with the Packers playing the Eagles on Thursday, but coach Matt LaFleur has yet to suggest that the tight end is in serious jeopardy of missing the contest.

Dealing with two injuries
Graham was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated injury report due to groin and quad injuries, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Graham was slowed by a groin injury last week, and he is now also dealing with a quad injury, which may have occurred early in the third quarter of Sunday's victory over the Broncos, according to Zach Kruse of USA Today. The extent of Graham's injuries is uncertain, but he will not have much time to recover with the Packers playing Thursday night in Week 4. If Graham is unable to go Thursday against the Eagles, Marcedes Lewis and Robert Tonyan would be in line for more work.

Graham was not targeted Sunday for the second week in a row.
Analysis: Graham dealt with a couple injuries over the last two weeks, but he also did not catch a pass in either Week 2 or Week 3 after a productive season opener. Given his history and contract, Graham is presumably the top tight end in Green Bay, but it should be noted he has not officially started a game this season, and played just 24 of the Packers' 57 snaps (42 percent) Sunday.

Graham (groin), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Broncos, is expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: The groin injury prevented Graham from taking part in the Packers' first two practices of the week, but the tight end was able to turn in a limited session Friday before garnering the questionable tag. Coach Matt LaFleur noted after Friday's practice that Graham looked good, so unless the 32-year-old experiences a pregame setback, he'll likely be in store for a normal snap count.

He played through the groin injury in last week's 21-16 win over Minnesota, finishing with just one target and no catches on 51 snaps. It sounds like he'll be listed as questionable when the final injury report comes out Friday afternoon. Marcedes Lewis, Robert Tonyan and Evan Baylis represent Green Bay's other options at tight end.

Graham was not targeted in Sunday's victory over the Vikings.
Analysis: It's not clear if the finger injury that limited Graham at practice last week played any part Sunday, but regardless, he was shut out in the box score after a nice showing Week 1. Graham dominated the tight end snaps for the Packers on Sunday, playing 54 of a possible 75 plays (72 percent), but the goose egg certainly won't inspire confidence in those considering Graham in Week 3.

Graham brought in three of six targets for 30 yards and a touchdown in the Packers' 10-3 win over the Bears on Thursday.

Analysis: Although the final injury report will come out Wednesday, Graham's participation in Green Bay's team drills signals he'll be ready for Thursday's game versus the Bears. Graham has a lot to prove this season after producing an underwhelming 55-636-2 line last year, so hopefully new head coach Matt LaFleur's system can inspire success from the veteran -- especially in the red zone.

Sitting out Thursday
Graham (finger) will join 33 Packers players on the sidelines for Thursday's preseason game against the Raiders.
Analysis: Even if Graham's finger injury allowed him to play Thursday, the field conditions in Winnipeg resulted in head coach Matt LaFleur sitting the bulk of his starters. Marcedes Lewis and Jace Sternberger will also sit out, so Robert Tonya, Evan Baylis and Pharoah McKever should take the reps at tight end.

Avoids surgery
Coach Matt LaFleur said Monday that Graham (finger) will not require surgery, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.
Analysis: LaFleur didn't disclose any details relating to Graham's injury but expressed confidence that the veteran tight end would "be alright," according to Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. Graham was forced to leave practice early Sunday after suffering an apparent finger injury. It remains to be seen whether he'll suit up for Thursday's preseason game against the Raiders, but his recovery doesn't appear likely to carry over into the regular season.

Not too worried about finger injury
Packers GM Brian Gutekunst suggested Graham's finger injury isn't serious, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports. "I'm not going to talk about injuries," Gutekunst said. "But I think we might've escaped one right there."
Analysis: Graham was removed from Sunday's practice after suffering what appeared to be a finger dislocation. He may not be available for Thursday's preseason game against Oakland, but this doesn't seem like an issue that will keep the tight end sidelined into the regular season.

Exits Sunday's practice
Graham was forced out of practice Sunday with an apparent finger injury, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Per Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com, it looked like the tight end may have dislocated a finger. If that's the case, we'll consider Graham day-to-day as Thursday's preseason game against the Raiders approaches.

Catches one pass
Graham caught one of two targets for five yards in Thursday night's 26-13 preseason loss to the Ravens.
Analysis: Graham's reception came on Green Bay's first offensive play of the game. That throw was delivered by DeShone Kizer, who started with Aaron Rodgers (back tightness) sidelined as a precaution. Graham and Rodgers will presumably only have one more chance to see game action together this preseason -- it's unlikely the starters will play in the fourth preseason game -- but that probably won't be too paramount for head coach Matt LaFleur given that Rodgers and Graham already played a full season…read more

Hoping for larger role
Graham believes he'll have a bigger role in the Packers offense under first-year coach Matt LaFleur, Jason Wilde of the Wisconsin State Journal reports.
Analysis: Graham hasn't had quite the impact in his two stops since his prime years with the Saints from 2011 through 2014. He hasn't surpassed the 1,000-yard mark since 2013 and has fallen shy of 100 targets each of the past four seasons. That said, a renewed scheme in Green Bay could bear fruit, especially if his red-zone usage approaches his last two years in Seattle. He logged 47 targets inside the 20-yard line between 2016 and 2017, versus just nine last season.

Leaves briefly Tuesday
Graham briefly left Tuesday's practice with an apparent lower leg issue but was able to return to the field, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Graham's status was left in question when it was reported he spoke with trainers and left the practice field; but it appears all is well, as he was able to make it back and did not have his name come up when head coach Matt LaFleur was asked about injuries after practice. Graham is slated to open the season as the Packers' top tight end and will no doubt be looking to make more of an impact than he did in his first season in Green Bay.

Expecting rebound season
Graham admits he didn't play well last season but expects to rebound in 2019, Jim Owczarski of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. "I'm not used to losing. And for me, it was not a good year," Graham said. "And so I'm completely focused on putting my best foot forward and being the player that I am, scoring down in the red zone and being that big threat on third down."
Analysis: The Packers apparently share Graham's confidence, as they elected to pay him a $5 million roster bonus in March amidst rumors he might be released. The 32-year-old tight end thus gets another shot to thrive alongside Aaron Rodgers, this time with Matt LaFleur calling the shots on offense instead of Mike McCarthy. A better season from the passing game as a whole would go a long way, but there's also something to the notion that Graham's once-elite athleticism has eroded. He produced just 5.4…read more

Likely getting another chance
General manager Brian Gutekunst suggested Graham will stay with the Packers for 2019, Jim Owczarski of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Apparently satisfied with Graham's 55-636-2 receiving line on 89 targets (7.1 YPT) in an Aaron Rodgers offense, Gutekunst expressed his faith in the veteran tight end remaining a viable starting option heading into the upcoming season. It would be hard to argue against dropping Graham after the first season of his three-year, $30 million contract, but the Packers seemingly anticipate the 32-year-old improving his performance under new head coach Matt LaFleur.

Still in plans for Green Bay
The Packers currently plan to keep Graham under contract for 2019, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: A major disappointment in the first season of his three-year, $30 million contract, Graham may get a second chance in Green Bay under the guidance of new head coach Matt LaFleur. It feels like a suboptimal decision from a salary cap standpoint, but the Packers aren't crazy to hope for some degree of improvement if the new scheme can take advantage of their tight end's 6-foot-7 frame while mitigating the impact of his declining athleticism. The team will need to make a final decision by March…read more

May not stay in Green Bay
Graham may be released by the Packers this offseason, Pete Dougherty of The Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.
Analysis: It might seem like an easy decision after Graham was such a disappointment in the first season of a three-year, $30 million contract, but the matter is complicated by a significant dead-money charge as well as the reality that Lance Kendricks, Marcedes Lewis and Randall Cobb are all scheduled to become unrestricted free agents in March. It's thus possible the 32-year-old gets another shot in Green Bay, where new head coach Matt LaFleur plans to call the plays on offense. It's also quite…read more

Modest first year as Packer
Graham had three receptions for 21 yards in Sunday's loss to the Lions.
Analysis: Graham played all 16 games in his first year in Green Bay, but -- partly because of a broken thumb -- he topped 34 yards just once in the team's final eight games and didn't find pay dirt after Week 9. His 636 total receiving yards were over 100 more than he tallied in 2017, but he was far less a threat in the red zone, as his touchdowns fell from 10 to just two. Graham is under contract with the Packers for next year, and there is at least a small chance he is not brought back if the team…read more

Cleared for Week 17
Graham (knee/thumb) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Lions, Michael Cohen of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Graham will close out his disappointing campaign against a Lions defense that yielded his third-highest yardage total (76) of the season back in Week 5. The Packers' injuries at wide receiver theoretically create an opportunity for increased target volume, but Graham has already failed to take advantage of similar situations on a number of occasions this season. Granted, it will be a bit different if the team has to play without Davante Adams (knee), who accounts for 42 percent of the red-zone…read more

Limited participant Thursday
Graham (knee/thumb) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: After a veritable veteran's day off Wednesday, albeit due to knee and thumb injuries, Graham returned Thursday with a cap on his practice reps. If he follows the typical progression from his first season in Green Bay, he'll be a full participant Friday and head into the weekend without a designation. Unfortunately, his production has waned down the stretch, with 20 catches (on 30 targets) for 190 yards in seven games since his last TD in Week 9.

Graham (thumb/knee) is participating in Thursday's practice, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Analysis: Graham's presence at practice implies that his absence from the first session of the week Wednesday was likely a result of routine maintenance for his lingering knee issue and fractured left thumb. Neither injury has prevented Graham from playing this season, and the limited snap counts initially caused by the broken thumb are no longer a concern either.

Doesn't practice Wednesday
Graham (thumb/knee) was held out of practice Wednesday, Josh Tolentino of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: This is status quo for Graham, who has managed a knee issue all season and a broken left thumb since mid-November. Since suffering the latter injury, he's had issues with drops and deflected passes, gathering in 18 of his 28 targets for 163 yards and no touchdowns over the last five games. Considering the production, Graham isn't a particularly inspiring fantasy option in Week 17 against the Lions.

Quiet on Rodgers' big day
Graham caught three of four targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 44-38 overtime win over the Jets.
Analysis: Graham accounted for just 34 of Aaron Rodgers' 442 passing yards. He was also the intended receiver on a two-point conversion attempt that would have turned into two points for the Jets on an interception return if not for a defensive penalty nullifying the whole play. The veteran tight end has been robbed of his bounce by injuries and has just two touchdowns heading into a Week 17 clash with the Lions after scoring 10 for the Seahawks last season.

Graham (knee/thumb) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game at the Jets, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Analysis: As expected, Graham finished out the week with a full practice and shouldn't have any limitations Sunday. He's struggled with drops since suffering a broken thumb Nov. 15, further adding to the disappointment of what had already been a substandard campaign. Graham will now take aim at a Jets defense that's given up a league-low 39 receptions to tight ends.

Elevates to limited participant
Graham (knee/thumb) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Michael Cohen of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: With his return to drills, Graham is more or less upholding his practice standard from much of his sole season as a Packer. Since he last scored a touchdown Week 9, he's been in a six-game rut, hauling in 17 of his 26 targets for 156 yards. Assuming he's active Sunday versus the Jets, Graham may have a tough time bouncing back against a Jets defense that has allowed the fewest receiving yards (452) to tight ends this season.

Graham (thumb/knee) was spotted on the field during the portion of Thursday's practice that was open to the media, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Graham's absence at practice Wednesday looks to have been mostly for maintenance purposes, given that he was able to return to work a day later. It's still possible that he'll be listed as a limited participant once the Packers release their practice report later Thursday, but the tight end doesn't seem to be at much risk of sitting out Sunday against the Jets.

Held out to start week
Graham (knee/thumb) isn't practicing Wednesday, Michael Cohen of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Graham played with a wrap over this broken thumb the past four weeks, catching 15 of 25 targets for only 129 yards since he suffered the injury. The Packers might consider easing up on the tight end now that they've officially been eliminated from the playoffs, though coach Joe Philbin suggested the team won't change its approach with injured players. A return to practice Thursday would put Graham on track to play in Sunday's game against the Jets.

Held to 32 yards in loss
Graham caught three of five passes for 32 yards during Sunday's 24-17 loss to Chicago.
Analysis: Graham was lamenting his mediocre season just days ago. The realization didn't help as the pass-catching tight end was held to 50 yards or less for the sixth straight game, and he's failed to score in any of those contests. He was able to recreate some of the magic of earlier in his career at times this season, but Graham has slid down along with the Packers as a whole over the past month.

Graham (knee/thumb) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Chicago, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Still playing through a broken thumb, Graham has struggled with drops but hasn't shown any limitation in terms of snaps or targets. He gets a tough Week 15 matchup against a Bears defense that's holding opponents to 6.4 yards per pass attempt, including just 5.8 YPT for tight ends.

Upgrades to limited Thursday
Graham (knee/thumb) was limited at Thursday's practice, Michael Cohen of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The Packers continue to keep close tabs on Graham's practice reps due to a pair of injuries. In reality, his broken left thumb is the one that impacts him on gamedays, hindering his ability to haul in Aaron Rodgers' hardest throws. On the receiving end of 20 passes from Rodgers with the injured appendage, Graham has averaged just 8.1 yards per catch and 4.9 yards per target over the last three games.

He still seems to be bothered by the fractured thumb, as he spent Wednesday's practice working off to the side with the rehab group, per Josh Tolentino of The Athletic.

Analysis: Graham was cleared of the thumb injury that had limited him recently, setting a new season high in catches. The veteran tight end's primary appeal heading into the season was his red-zone prowess, but Graham's been a major disappointment in that regard, having compiled just two touchdowns after scoring 10 for the Seahawks last season.

The tight end played through the injury in last Sunday's loss to the Vikings, but his snaps were restricted as a result. Even if he's cleared to suit up in Week 13 against the Cardinals, Graham may have his workload capped again, which would limit his fantasy upside.

Analysis: While the activity represents a step forward from what Graham was able to do Wednesday, it still appears likely that he'll require a heavy tape job over his fractured left thumb heading into Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

The thumb injury Graham suffered in Thursday's 27-24 loss to the Seahawks is "feared to be serious," Mike Silver of NFL.com reports.
Analysis: Few details regarding Graham's setback have been revealed, but he was not able to return to the contest after suffering the injury and it appears he could miss more time. Those with Graham on their fantasy squads will at least want to start considering other options at tight end.

Graham is questionable to return to Thursday's game against the Seahawks with a thumb injury.
Analysis: Graham appeared to get his hand caught in an opposing player's facemask while blocking for a screen pass late in the second quarter. If the veteran tight end remains out, expect Lance Kendricks and Robert Tonyan, who already has a 54-yard touchdown reception to his name in Thursday's contest, to see a larger role in the passing game.

Cleared for Week 11
Graham (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Thursday's game in Seattle.
Analysis: Graham opened the week as a non-participant on back-to-back injury reports, but a return to full practice participation Wednesday has paved the way for the tight end to be available this week, as per usual. It'll be tough sledding for Graham, though, while he takes on a Seahawks defense that has given up a combined 11 catches for 101 yards and two touchdowns to tight ends over the last three contests.

Held out of practice Tuesday
Graham (knee) didn't practice Tuesday, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.
Analysis: Instead, Graham was contained to a stationary bike in the part of Tuesday's session open to the media, per Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site. Unlike Randall Cobb (knee), Graham is taking the team flight to Seattle. However, the tight end's status will remain a question mark until the release of Wednesday's injury report and potentially until the team posts its inactive list about 90 minutes before Thursday's 8:20 PM ET kickoff.

Listed as non-participant Monday
Graham (knee) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated injury report, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Graham's inclusion isn't a surprise, as his reps typically are under some sort of cap on the first practice report of each week. Expect the 31-year-old to get on the field over the next two days with an eye on Thursday's game in Seattle, whose defense has done an admirable job of containing tight ends this season.

Quiet in victory
Graham caught one pass for 14 yards in Sunday's victory over the Dolphins.
Analysis: Graham's production has seemingly fluctuated on a week-to-week basis all season, and that remained the case Week 10, as he followed up a 55-yard-and-a-touchdown showing Week 9 with his fewest receiving yards since Week 1. Some of that likely had to do with a lack of opportunity, as Graham was on the field for just 68 percent of the Packers' offensive snaps -- his lowest number of the season -- likely a response to the practice session he sat out Wednesday because of his sore knee. Graham will…read more

Cleared for Week 10
Graham (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Graham continues to have his reps scaled back early in the week to help him stay healthy throughout the year. It's interesting to see Randall Cobb (hamstring) listed as questionable after a mid-week setback, considering Graham averaged 8.3 targets and 67 yards in the three games Cobb missed earlier this season.

Practices in limited fashion
Graham (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The Packers have been managing Graham's practice reps carefully all season due to the listed knee issue, though it's never put his status in serious jeopardy for any given week. The expectation remains that Graham will be on the field Sunday against the Dolphins to handle the bulk of the snaps at tight end for Green Bay.

Back at practice Thursday
Graham (knee) returned to practice Thursday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Despite being listed with a knee injury, Graham received a veritable veteran's day off Wednesday. His presence at practice Thursday was expected, but his activity level won't be known until the Packers release their second Week 10 injury report.

No practice reps Wednesday
Graham (knee) didn't practice Wednesday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Graham's absence was forecast at the beginning of the session, when he appeared to be a spectator, per Jim Owczarski of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. However, Graham has routinely had some sort of limitation on his practice reps to kick off a given week, only to ditch the designation by the release of the final injury report. There's no indication Graham is in danger of missing Sunday's game against the Dolphins, so expect his availability to be confirmed by the end of the week.

Catches touchdown in loss
Graham caught four passes (six targets) for 55 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-17 loss to the Patriots.
Analysis: Graham bounced back from last week's one-catch dud with a strong fantasy line Sunday. The veteran tight end is no longer the dynamic downfield threat he once was, but he has turned in TE1 numbers in three of the last four contests. Tight end production has fallen off so much this year that Graham should be considered a top option almost every week even if he is a shell of his former self.

Cleared to face New England
Graham (knee) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game at New England, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Analysis: A regular on the injury report, Graham has played at least 71 percent of the snaps every week this season, but his production hasn't been nearly as consistent as his playing time. He'll face a New England defense that gave up huge games to the Colts' Eric Ebron and the Bears' Trey Burton in October, though the Pats did limit Kansas City's Travis Kelce to five catches for 61 yards on nine targets in Week 6.
