Overview

  • During an Instagram livestream on June 28, retired Eagles defensive lineman Brandon Graham challenged Deebo Samuel’s readiness to play.
  • Graham told streamer Janky Rondo that Samuel “has to get in shape first” and does not appear ready to carry Washington’s offense.
  • The Commanders traded for Samuel in March on a one-year evaluation deal after his 2024 season was hampered by pneumonia, rib and calf injuries.
  • Samuel’s reported 20-pound weight gain and injury recovery have become a high-profile subplot in the Philadelphia–Washington rivalry.
  • Both teams will now monitor Samuel’s conditioning closely as they prepare for the start of training camp.
