The tight end is back with the team after being booked Friday night in Southern California on suspicion of being under the influence of a controlled substance
LOS ANGELES — New Orleans Saints tight end Jimmy Graham was in the midst of a “medical episode” and was disoriented when he was taken into custody in Southern California and transported to a hospital, the team said Saturday.
Graham was stopped by police on Friday night while reportedly wandering in traffic and booked on suspicion of being under the influence of a controlled substance. The Saints announced Graham has been evaluated by team doctor John Amoss, was released from a hospital Saturday morning and was back with the team as it prepared for a preseason game Sunday night against the Chargers.
The team said Amoss determined Graham “likely” was suffering the effects of a seizure when he was apprehended Friday night. Graham spent the night under medical supervision and testing, the team said. “Amoss met Graham at the hospital and is overseeing his care at this time,” the Saints’ statement said.Graham is a five-time Pro Bowl player who spent last season out of football but returned to the league last month when he signed a one-year contract with New Orleans. He spent his first five seasons with the Saints before stops in Seattle, Green Bay and Chicago.
