Eagles’ Brandon Graham Revealed His Season Is Over
He put on a defensive show last night. Despite being in his 15th year in the league the 36-year old was still flying around the field wreaking havoc. But after his excellent performance last night, the Eagles’ Brandon Graham revealed that his season is over. In a press conference around his locker last night the veteran defensive end made the announcement. Last night he played a big part in helping the Eagles win against the Rams with a sack, 2 tackles for loss and 3 quarterback hits. But he had to leave the game in the fourth quarter. After he was chipped in the elbow by running back Kyren Williams.
During his press conference, Graham said, “I’m out for the rest of the year, I tore my tricep.” He was asked if he thought he might come back and play next year.
“Man, I’m just trying to process everything right now, I ain’t got that far but you know what? I’m going to keep my spirits up, keep enjoying it … because we’ve got a special team right now and it’s time for people to step on up. I’m happy this is where we’re at. And if anything, if I was going to go out, I’m happy with the way I played today. And I couldn’t ask for anything else.”
Graham had initially thought it was just the elbow tendinitis he’d been dealing with flaring up. But knew something was wrong as he was being examined by trainers on the sideline. “[The trainer] told me and I just tried to process it out there. I called my wife and let her know the news. Kids were crying,” he said.

QB Jalen Hurts and RB Saquon Barkley shared their thoughts about Graham:
“That I was there for him,” Hurts said of the message he delivered. “It’s very unfortunate for the man first and a teammate second. A guy that has endeared himself to this franchise, has always tried to uplift. And really teach the younger guys that are coming in. … His pursuit has been to be his best self but really be the best teammate he can be and serve everyone he can.”
“I’ve only been able to be his teammate for a short period of time but I feel like I’ve known him for my whole life,” said Saquon Barkley, “He is the reason why this transition for me has been so easy — him along with a lot of other guys.”
This is a tough loss for the Eagles.
