The Philadelphia Eagles will be without defensive end Brandon Graham for the rest of the season.
Graham, who is without a doubt the heart of the Eagles' defense, suffered a torn triceps injury in the team's 37-20 road win over the Los Angeles Rams.
Following the win, Graham told reporters that he would miss the remainder of the year and would not confirm if he would return in 2025 after originally saying that this season would be his last in the spring.
But of course, Graham had to out with a bang and posted two tackles, one sack, two tackles for loss, one pass defended, and three quarterback hits before exiting Sunday night's win early.
The 36-year-old ends the season with 20 total tackles, 3.5 sacks, and one forced fumble.
While Graham will no longer be able to suit up and take the field with his teammates, he will be cheering them on and coaching them up from the sidelines.
"Like I told the boys, man. The mission's still the mission. We pour everything we can into this game," Graham said. "I'm about to enjoy this little rehab and then I'm about to enjoy leading this team the rest of the year. As soon as I can be back out there, I'm gonna be out there. As a player, I'm out for the year."
