Why aren't we using Graham as much? - New England Patriots Forums

He's one of the best blocking TEs in the game and for some reason I've hardly seen him in the 2nd half of the season. Has he been injured? I surely hope we use him a lot more in the upcoming games, since passing the ball will be the key to victory, and Brady needs as much protection as possible.

Yes he has been injured.

He's had a shoulder injury. I hope that he's ready this week. Kind of hard to block with a shoulder injury.

What did the injury report say about Graham? I LIKE TEs that can block. (and catch, and run. Greedy here).

I think he was listed as probable.
Watson has been filling in due to Graham's shoulder injury 4-5 weeks (?) back.

Man, I hope so! I haven't gotten my fill of seeing both Graham and Watson on the field at the same time this year.

I sort of fear Graham's shoulder isn't going to improve that much in one week. (He hardly played last week.)
