Eagles DE Brandon Graham chokes up while discussing season-ending triceps injury

Brandon Graham and his Philadelphia Eagles band have won the game against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday, November 24. However, the game didn't turn out so great personally for him.

He had earlier said that he had tendinitis in his triceps, and had even considered retiring due to this but continued playing games regardless. But now, after the season-ending injury, he will get a lot of time to consider them again.

During a podcast appearance on 94 WIP, the DE got emotional and almost broke into tears speaking about his injury.

"I just needed this right here. I needed to get this out. It's been awhile since I've cried man," he said on the show.

He added that what he regretted that he won't be a part of the great organization, for this season at least, that the Eagles players have built over the years.

"I just love what've been building. I know I let nobody down as far as getting hurt and stuff because I know I'm bringing that enegy," he added.

With the chance that the team might actually make it to the Super Bowl this year, it only makes things harder for him.

Is Brandon Graham's career over?

Brandon Graham is equally unsure about his future in the NFL as the rest of us. When he was asked whether he feels he has played his last snap in the NFL, he did not give a definitive answer.

“If I had to go out like this, I love the way I gave it everything out there on the field,” Graham said (via MLFootball). “All I know is they ain’t done with me yet. I’m going to make sure I get out there and be the best leader I can be, like I always do.”

Additionally, he said that the team should keep bringing the same energy to the gridiron as he did when he was playing. He added that they should ensure the opponents knew how lucky they were that one of the great defensive players was out.

If indeed Graham has played his last snap in Philly, he will go down in the franchise's history as one of its greats. He has a total of 76.5 career sacks and is just behind legends such as Reggie White and Trent Cole. He has also been a captain of the team since 2019.

However, we need to still wait and watch how Brandon Graham's recovery pans out.
