New Orleans star tight end Jimmy Graham, one of the best in the game and Drew Brees' most dangerous target, will not play against the Bucs on Sunday.

Graham was declared out by the Saints due to an ankle injury. He was not on the team flight to Tampa Saturday.

The Saints will, for the first time, have the services of linebacker Jonathan Vilma. He was placed on the 53-man roster Saturday.

In addition New Orleans terminated the contract of WR Greg Jamarillo.
