The Facts:
Graham had surgery to repair his lingering wrist injury earlier this month, a league source confirmed. The exact nature of Graham's surgery is unknown.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The good news? He should have plenty of time to recover before summer camps and training camp. The Saints revealed late in the 2012 season that Graham had been fighting through the nagging injury for the entire season - though he never missed a game or practice because of the wrist injury. Graham still had a productive season, with 85 catches for 982 yards and nine touchdowns in 15 games played (he missed one game with an ankle injury). However, he struggled with dropped passes throughout the year. According to ESPN Stats & Information, Graham led the NFL in 2012 with 14 drops. As Times-Picayune staffer Mike Triplett suggested, the wrist surgery, combined with the return of HC Sean Payton, should help inspire a "bounce-back" season for Graham. Triplett added: "If 982 yards and nine touchdowns is a 'down' year, then Graham and the Saints should be in awfully good shape. ..." Stay tuned. We'll be following up as developments warrant.
