Saints' Graham active vs. Bills

New Orleans Saints tight end Jimmy Graham tested his injured foot during pre-game warmups Sunday and is active against the Buffalo Bills.

Graham has been dealing with a partially torn plantar fascia suffered two weeks ago. He did not practice Wednesday and Thursday after taking the bye week to rest, but did get in limited work Friday.

"We do a pretty good job I think of isolating ourselves from the noise, and just focus on each day the process and focus on, obviously, the players getting reps in that practice and preparing for the scenarios, in any injury, both in the event the player can and can't play," Saints coach Sean Payton said Friday of the concern regarding Graham's availability. "That's just kind of been our approach."
