Saints tight end Jimmy Graham returned to practice Tuesday following offseason wrist surgery, and he talked about his health and his outlook for this season. “Everything is going well," Graham said. "I’ve been in rehab and I’ve been getting stronger. Right now I’m almost 100 percent. Going into camp, I’ll be 100 percent. It just feels good. It just feels good to be healthy finally and back playing like myself.” Graham last year was a disappointment that he wants to put behind him. “I’m a hungry player, and this is probably the hungriest I’ve ever been to kind of right the wrongs of last year, prove what this team can do and to maybe hush up some of the naysayers," he said. "For me, it’s all work and doing as much as I can to be the best player I can.” Quarterback Drew Brees is glad his top target is back on the field. “He was banged up quite a bit last year in his defense," Brees said. "He’s had an offseason now to recover and be on the mend. He feels a lot better. He’s juiced up and ready to go. It’s great to see. He’s like a kid out there a lot of times, running around and telling me to throw him the ball and he’ll go get it for me, which is great to hear from a big tight end.”
