The Green Bay Packers have a short week to prepare for their next game. On Monday, Jimmy Graham missed practice ahead of Thursday night's matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Prior to Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos, Jimmy Graham was questionable to play due to a groin injury. Now, to begin this week, the veteran tight end has appeared on the injury report with a hamstring issue.
With the Packers playing on Thursday Night Football, his availability for Week 4 is definitely in jeopardy. Green Bay has begun the season with a 3-0 record despite a slow start from Graham.
The pass-catching tight end began the season with three receptions for 30 yards and a touchdown versus the Chicago Bears in Week 1. It was Graham's touchdown that was the difference in Green Bay defeating Chicago 10-3 to kick off the season.
However, over the past two weeks, Graham has failed to record a catch for the Packers. His lack of production in the last two games could be credited to injuries ailing him though.
The 32-year-old tight end seems to be dealing with multiple injuries. Therefore, it may be wise for Matt LaFleur to give Graham a week off in Week 4 on a short week of practice.
At the same time, Aaron Rodgers could definitely use his big-bodied tight end against an Eagles team who is desperate for a win.
If Graham is unable to suit up on Thursday, veteran Marcedes Lewis would likely get the nod as the starter. Lewis has caught three passes for 33 yards in his three games with the Packers this season.
