All-Pro defensive end Brandon Graham suffered a torn triceps in Week 12 of the 2024 NFL season. It was not just any injury because he was in his final year with the Philadelphia Eagles. Therefore, that could have been the final game of his 15-season NFL career, all played with the Eagles.
However, multiple reports revealed that Graham will try to play for Philadelphia in Super Bowl LIX. While his status remains uncertain, he will try to recover and be healthy enough to play against the Kansas City Chiefs.
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.

If he ends up playing and the Eagles beat the Chiefs, he would be only one of four players (Lane Johnson, Jake Elliott, Rick Lovato) who have been a part of two Super Bowl-winning teams for Philadelphia. Likewise, it would be a nice ending to Graham’s career as he gives way to younger players like Bryce Huff, Jordan Davis, and Jalen Carter.
Graham has 487 tackles, 76.5 sacks, 22 forced fumbles, and seven fumble recoveries in 206 regular season games. Meanwhile, he has 20 tackles, 5.5 sacks, and two forced fumbles in 11 postseason games.
