It sounds like Brandon Graham is going to try to play in the Super Bowl

Brandon Graham's season — and career — might not be over after all.

Marcus Hayes of The Philadelphia Inquirer is reporting that the franchise icon is going to come off of injured reserve and attempt to get ready to play in the Super Bowl on Feb. 9: 

A team source said he expects Brandon Graham to come off IR on Monday and try to get ready for Super Bowl LIX.

Graham told me he hasn’t tested his torn triceps full-bore, but what he’s done showed promising results.

For what it's worth, this is what Graham had to say about his status after the Eagles defeated the Washington Commanders 55-23 in the NFC Championship Game:

Graham tore his left triceps in a 37-20 win over the Los Angeles Rams on Nov. 24. 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. 

It would unquestionably be an emotional boost to get back the longest-tenured Eagle for the Super Bowl. But in the game that Graham tore his triceps in, he had a sack, two tackles for a loss and three quarterback hits. So getting Graham back for the Super Bowl would give the Eagles another option off of the edge, allowing Vic Fangio's already-stout defense to get even better.
