Philadelphia – The defensive wing of the Eagles Brandon Graham, the hero of the Super Bowl Lii, is looking to return just in time for the championship game against the heads of Kansas City.
The Eagles opened the practice window for the veteran defensive wing on Thursday. Graham broke the triceps at the end of November against the Los Angeles Rams and announced in the locker room that the rest of the season would be lost.
Since he was planning that 2024 was his last season in professionals, there was a true possibility that the RAMS game was the last. But he has been rehabilitating behind the scene, and optimism has grown in recent days so he can meet Kansas City in New Orleans.
“I’ve been working, man. Let’s see,” Graham said after the victory of the NFC 55-23 championship game on Sunday over Washington’s commanders. “The boys scored 55 today [the same as his jersey number]. That is what happens. That could be telling me something. “
Graham, 36, is the author of the most consistent work in the history of the franchise, a sack of Tom Brady in the final moments of the Super Bowl Lii that helped deliver the first and only Lombardi trophy to the city of Philadelphia.
Graham has played the most regular seasonal games (206) in the history of the team and has the third most catches (76.5).
His 15th NFL season was much more than a farewell tour. It was a key part of the rotation of the edge of the edge of Vic Fangio, registering 3.5 captures, seven quartback blows and six cups for loss before injuring.
