Original Story

Brandon Graham — who made one of the key plays in the lone Super Bowl victory in franchise history — has been activated from injured reserve for Super Bowl LIX as the Eagles try to defeat the Kansas City Chiefs:

Graham tore his left triceps in a 37-20 win over the Los Angeles Rams on Nov. 24, and said at the time he expected to miss the rest of the season. It was a particularly deflating injury for the Eagles because not only had Graham still been playing at a high level, but 2024 was expected to be the final season of the 36-year-old’s career. He has at times cracked the door open to playing beyond 2024, but there’s no guarantee that the Eagles will be this good again next season. 

Adding the longest-tenured Eagle back to a pass rush that includes Jalen Carter, Jordan Davis, Milton Williams, Josh Sweat and Nolan Smith not only would improve an already-strong group, but it should be an emotional boost. 

And if this does prove to be the final game of Graham’s career, a strip sack of Patrick Mahomes — to go along with the one he had of Tom Brady in Super Bowl LII — would be a hell of a way to go out.
