Eagle Expected to Leave After Season Now Having Change of Heart
The Philadelphia Eagles are sitting with a 9-2 record after winning their last seven games. The latest victory came on Sunday Night Football, as the Eagles defeated the Los Angeles Rams 37-20.
Even though they were able to extend their win streak, the Eagles lost a key veteran leader for the season. After the game, defensive end Brandon Graham revealed that he was done for the year after tearing his biceps.
It was expected that Graham was going to retire after the season but that may not be the case anymore.
Brandon Graham answers the question of the day by not ruling out anything. Says he doesn’t owe the game anything and the game doesn’t owe him anything back. But he’s excited to attack rehab and knows he was playing well enough this year that anything is possible.

BG has thought about coming back for another season, but he says it will depend on how his rehab goes and how he’s feeling. BG is one of the best people to ever come through Philly. https://t.co/qyUQlih99I

Eagles News: Brandon Graham is Reconsidering Retirement
During an appearance on sports radio show "94 WIP", Graham said he's not ruling anything out in regard to his playing career. He's excited to attack rehab and will see how he's feeling afterward.
The Michigan product is one of the best players to ever suit up for the Eagles, and you can see the kind of impact he has on his teammates. Jalyx Hunt posted a heartfelt message to Graham on social media and Chauncey Gardner-Johnson also joined in to praise Graham.
This season, the 36-year-old was still an effective player. He tallied 20 total tackles, six tackles for loss, 3.5 sacks, and two pass deflections. Per PFF, he had a 78.6 overall grade.
Graham has played the most games in Eagles franchise history (206) and ranks third in sacks (76.5).
Who knows what he will decide to do but it's clear that he will be welcomed back to Philly with open arms. Graham has 15 seasons with Philadelphia under his belt and now there's a chance that number can rise to 16.
