- Jimmy Graham (shoulder) got the “questionable” tag after putting in limited practice this week. Graham was expected to miss 2-3 weeks prior to the Saints’ Week 6 bye, so it would be a surprise if he suited up, but it sounds like this will come down to a game-time decision.

It might not come as much of a surprise that Injustice 2 did so well, as the first game in the franchise – Injustice: Gods Among Us – was well received, and few other games were launching in May to compete with it.
