Seahawks: Twitter reacts to news Jimmy Graham is practicing
By Keith Myers
Jimmy Graham is back on the active roster of the Seattle Seahawks. Fans of the team are naturally pretty excited about the news.
Fan of the Seattle Seahawks got some excellent news today. All-Pro tight end Jimmy Graham passes his physical, was taken off the physically unable to perform list, and returned to practice.
Graham tore his patellar tendon last November. It is a catastrophic injury that can take years to fully return from. For Graham to be back on the field already, even in a limited manner, is tremendous news.
Of course, this news comes just a few days after Thomas Rawls also was activated off the PUP list. The Seahawks are beginning to get their stars back healthy. Hopefully they’ll both be ready to go by Week 1.
The reaction to the Graham news was predicable. The excitement was real.

Graham still has a long way to go before he’s ready to appear in games, but today was a big first step.
