Brandon Graham might well have played the last game of his career on Sunday night, but he definitely played the final game of his season.
Graham, following the Philadelphia Eagles' 37-20 win over the Los Angeles Rams, told reporters he had torn his triceps and would miss the remainder of the 2024 campaign.
"If I had to go out like this, I gave everything I got," Graham, 36, said, via NBC Philly’s Ashlyn Sullivan.
Graham, who said he's been dealing with tendonitis in his triceps, said he was chipped on the elbow.
The longest-tenured Eagles player on the team's roster, Graham signed a one-year deal this offseason to play his 15th season with the club. He said previously he intended for this to be his final year in the NFL, but recently said he was rethinking that due to Philly's success.
More success was found Sunday when the Saquon Barkley-led Eagles thumped the Rams and improved to 9-2.
Whatever becomes of the Eagles for the remainder of the campaign, they unfortunately will be without Graham.
Before his exit Sunday, Graham was having a stellar showing, posting two tackles, a sack, two tackles for loss, three QB hits and a pass breakup.
Whether those stand as the statistics for his final game remains to be seen, but if they are, he will have finished his career with 76.5 career sacks, which is third in franchise history. Not included in that tally is the strip-sack he had in Super Bowl LII, helping the Eagles defeat the New England Patriots for their first and only Lombardi Trophy.
