Eagles' Brandon Graham Returns to Practice amid Injury Rehab Ahead of Super Bowl 59
January 30, 2025
As the Philadelphia Eagles prepare for Super Bowl LIX against the Kansas City Chiefs, they could get one of their defensive leaders back in the lineup.
The Eagles announced on Thursday that they've opened the practice window for veteran linebacker Brandon Graham, who hasn't played since suffering a torn triceps on Nov. 24.
Graham was placed on injured reserve after tearing his triceps in a 37-20 win over the Los Angeles Rams in Week 12. While it was initially believed that he would miss the rest of the season, Philadelphia's run to the Super Bowl motivated him to continue working toward his return.
"We'll see. Tomorrow, I'll go meet up and we'll see if it's a possibility. I've been working man, but we will see," Graham said after the Eagles defeated the Washington Commanders in the NFC Championship. "At the end of the day, I'm just happy we got there. Those boys scored 55 today – that's what's up – so, that might be telling me something."
Graham has spent his entire 15-year career in Philadelphia and is one of the most beloved players in team history. His strip-sack of legendary quarterback Tom Brady in Super Bowl LII against the New England Patriots helped the Eagles secure their first and only Lombardi Trophy.
This is the second time in the last three years that Philadelphia is meeting Kansas City in the Super Bowl. After failing to make an impact in Super Bowl LVIII, Graham will surely be hoping to contribute for the Eagles if he's able to take the field on Feb. 9 in New Orleans.
