Eagles' Graham to return for Super Bowl in potential final NFL game
Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Brandon Graham was activated off injured reserve Saturday and is set to return for the Super Bowl against the Kansas City Chiefs.
The Eagles opened Graham's 21-day practice window last week. He was placed on injured reserve in late November after suffering a triceps injury against the Los Angeles Rams and missed the next nine games.
"I'm feeling good. I'm feeling real good. I'm excited, man, to be able to play in this game," Graham said Monday, according to The Athletic.
Graham, 36, was having arguably his best game of the year when he suffered the injury and exited with four pressures, two tackles for loss, and one sack. He leads all Eagles defensive linemen in pressure rate (14.2%) this season, according to Next Gen Stats.
He famously strip-sacked New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady with a little more than two minutes remaining to all but ice Super Bowl LII in the 2017 season and give the Eagles their first Super Bowl victory.
The 15-year veteran said before the season that this would be his final campaign.
