Graham suffered a torn Triceps late in the second half against the Rams, ending his regular season after 11 games.

The last time Graham was in the lineup, the former Michigan star linebacker had two tackles, one sack, two tackles for loss, one pass defended, and three quarterback hits in the regular season win over the Rams. Graham finished the 2024 regular season with 13 tackles, 2.5 sacks, one forced fumble, a 75.7 grade from PFF, 13 QB hurries, and 19 QB pressures.

Once thought to be gone for the season, Graham had his practice window opened ahead of Super Bowl LIX against the Kansas City Chiefs.

The 35-year-old Graham is third on the Eagle’s all-time sack list (75.5) and tied with Seth Joyner for second in team history in forced fumbles (21). Graham broke Chuck Bednarik’s record for the most seasons played with the franchise (15).

Eagles will get reinforcement from star pass rusher for Super Bowl LIX

The #Eagles activated a veteran pass-rusher from their injured reserve list ahead of Philadelphia’s Super Bowl LIX matchup against the #Chiefs

The Philadelphia Eagles will get a massive boost from star pass rusher Brandon Graham when they face the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX on Sunday evening.

Graham, who is a highly accomplished sack master, suffered a triceps injury in Week 12 of the regular season and had been on Philadelphia’s injured reserve list during the Eagles’ playoff run.

Now set to return for Super Bowl LIX, Graham’s dynamic pass-rushing prowess could prove to be a boon for Philadelphia’s defense, which will need all the help it can get to stop Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs.

The Eagles announced Graham’s activation in a post to Twitter on Saturday:

Though Kansas City’s game plan for scoring on Philadelphia’s outstanding defense isn’t likely to change in light of Graham’s activation, head coach Andy Reid will need to ensure that he accounts for the veteran defensive end when calling pass plays.

Stay tuned to see if Graham will be able to make an impact in Super Bowl LIX.

Will Brandon Graham play for the Eagles in the 2025 Super Bowl? Here’s what we know.

Will the Eagles get Brandon Graham back for the Super Bowl?

The Philadelphia Eagles are officially getting back a major part of their defensive line ahead of the 2025 Super Bowl on Sunday in New Orleans.

The team activated defensive end Brandon Graham from injured reserve on Saturday, with ESPN’s Adam Schefter adding that he is expected to play in the Super Bowl.

Graham tore his triceps during Week 12 against the Los Angeles Rams, totaling 20 tackles, 3.5 sacks and a forced fumble on the season before sustaining his injury.

As Philadelphia tries to get after Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes to win a title, having Graham back and healthy will make that pursuit that much easier.

The career Eagle won a Super Bowl with the team in 2018, so he’s got championship experience to boot. His return will be huge for Philly.

Brandon Graham injury update: Will Eagles pass rusher play in Super Bowl LIX?

Brandon Graham has been”flying around” and “talking mess” at Eagles practice and remains on track to play on Sunday vs the Chiefs in the Super Bowl

Brandon Graham is back at Eagles practices and doing more than looking to stay in shape with intense cardio. Graham has said all the right things about taking his return one day at a time, and just 96 hours away from kickoff in New Orleans, the legendary pass rusher is set to log his sixth straight day of work since having his practice window opened.

Last week, following a session closed to the media, Lane Johnson said that Graham was at Philadelphia Eagles practice “flying around” and “talking mess,” which is a clear indicator that he’ll be involved in Super Bowl LIX.

Graham told Eliot Shorr-Parks of 94 WIP that he remains on track to play in Super Bowl LIX, continuing his plan to retire at the end of the season.

According to Olivia Reiner of the Philadelphia Inquirer, Graham participated in team drills in practice last week for the first time since his Triceps injury. 

Graham suffered a torn Triceps late in the second half against the Rams in Week 12, ending his regular season after 11 games.

Graham had two tackles, one sack, two tackles for loss, one pass defended, and three quarterback hits in the win over Los Angeles. Graham finished the 2024 regular season with 13 tackles, 2.5 sacks, one forced fumble, a 75.7 grade from PFF, 13 QB hurries, and 19 QB pressures.

Howie Roseman explains why Eagles haven’t extended Zack Baun, other key free agents

Eagles GM Howie Roseman could be looking to stack up on compensatory picks after he explained why the Eagles didn’t hand out contract extensions to key 2025 free agents like Zack Baun, Josh Sweat and others

The Eagles have 19 pending free agents, and with some big names looking to cash in, the Philadelphia defense could look quite different in 2024.

During his Super Bowl opening-night press conference, the Eagles GM provided insight into his thinking, explaining to Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia why he didn’t extend contracts to several key free agents.

“Once you start doing that, it’s almost like, are you picking favorites?” Roseman said. “And the other guys start saying, ‘What about me?’ And they start playing for themselves as opposed to the team.

“Now, we’ve seen that probably costs you money in the long run as you’re doing it. But when you have an opportunity to compete for a championship, it’s worth that sacrifice I think.”

Philadelphia has several critical free agents who probably want to return to the Eagles but could land massive paydays on the open market. Zack Baun, Mekhi Becton, Milton Williams, Josh Sweat, Isaiah Rodgers, and Kenneth Gainwell could land lucrative deals when the new league year begins.

Roseman admitted that he watches Baun and Becton’s price tag grow daily but sacrificed potential long-term deals for a Super Bowl run without distractions.

“I’ll do anything for a championship,” Roseman said. “So if that’s the trade-off and maybe we lose a player, I won’t like that, but I’ll take it.”

The six free agents listed above will all have major suitors on the open market, but if those players depart, the Eagles can land upwards of four compensatory picks.
