Overview
- Philadelphia announced Graham’s return on Tuesday, and the 37-year-old confirmed it publicly and said his previously torn triceps is fully healed.
- Head coach Vic Fangio said “we’ll see” on Graham’s usage, citing conditioning and carryover from last year as the staff plans to ease him into the rotation.
- The move follows Za’Darius Smith’s abrupt retirement and injuries to edge options such as Nolan Smith Jr., leaving the position thin.
- The defense has struggled to generate pressure, ranking 28th in sacks and 29th in sack rate, with minimal production from the edge group so far.
- Analysts are urging GM Howie Roseman to pursue a high-end pass rusher before Nov. 4, mentioning targets such as Trey Hendrickson, Jaelan Phillips or Maxx Crosby.
