Brandon Graham: Everything you need to know

Graham played nine regular-season games during the 2025 campaign, tallying eight tackles (four solo), including 3.0 sacks. Graham came out of retirement in October to help bolster the Eagles' mediocre pass rush. The 37-year-old still had enough gas in the tank to play a rotational role, as he played over 17 percent of defensive snaps just twice in 2025. Graham has now recorded 79.5 regular-season sacks over 16 years, and he indicated on his personal podcast that he's open to playing again for the Eagles in 2026.

Graham (groin) holds no injury designation ahead of Friday's matchup with the Bears. After failing to participate in Tuesday's walkthrough practice, Graham was able to fully participate Thursday and dodge injury designation for Sunday's contest. The linebacker's presence provides great depth to an already strong Eagles linebacker room heading into a primetime matchup.

Graham (groin) did not participate in Tuesday's walkthrough practice. Graham may have tweaked his groin during the Eagles' overtime loss to the Cowboys on Sunday, when he played 11 snaps (eight on defense, three on special teams) but did not show up in the box score otherwisee. The veteran pass rusher came out of retirement in late October and has served in a rotational role over the Eagles' last three games, but his absence would open the door for Joshua Uche to see more snaps on defense. Graham will have two more opportunities to increase his practice participation and avoid an injury designation heading into Friday's game against the Bears.
