The mystery on the severity of Green Bay Packers tight end Jimmy Graham's thumb injury should be resolved soon.
Graham suffered a fractured thumb in Thursday night's 27-24 loss to the Seattle Seahawks, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported. While it remains unclear if Graham can play through the injury, results from further testing will help shed light, Rapoport added.
On the season, Graham ranks second on the team in receiving with 34 catches for 452 yards and two touchdowns on 57 targets.
The Packers have tight ends Lance Kendricks, Marcedes Lewis and Robert Tonyan, who caught a 54-yard touchdown pass against the Seahawks, for depth behind Graham.
