The Saints said that tight end Jimmy Graham suffered a medical episode — likely a seizure — before being arrested Friday night in Southern California after wandering in traffic.

Graham is attempting a comeback after sitting out last season. He played for the Bears from 2020-21, catching 64 passes for 623 yards and 11 touchdowns in 31 games.

TMZ reported Graham was arrested on suspicion of being under the influence of a controlled substance and resisting arrest Friday night outside a hotel. The team later claimed the incident was the result of a medical problem.
