Brandon Graham’s season, and perhaps his career in the NFL, is over.
The veteran defensive end for the Philadelphia Eagles left Sunday night’s 37-20 win over the Los Angeles Rams with an injury. During his post game press conference at his locker, Graham confirmed that he tore his left tricep and will be out of the year.
Graham was incredibly emotional in the locker room at SoFi Stadium when speaking with reporters, and said he had been dealing with a tricep issue for quite some time.
Graham had two total tackles and a sack in the win on Sunday night. He moved into third on the Eagles’ all-time sack list when he brought down Matthew Stafford in the second quarter. That brought Graham to 76.5 sacks in his career. Only Trent Cole and Reggie White have more.
Graham finished the season with 18 total tackles and 2.5 sacks.
Graham got his start in the league with the Eagles, who selected him with the No. 13 overall draft pick in 2010 out of Michigan. He’s been a staple in the team’s defense ever since, and he became the first player in team history to appear in 200 regular-season games.
