The Philadelphia Eagles could get a major injury boost before the Super Bowl in New Orleans on February 9 against Kansas City Chiefs.
The team have opened the practice window for defensive end Brandon Graham, who has been out since late November with a torn triceps.
If he’s able to make it onto the field for the game in Louisiana, it would be a massive boost to Nick Sirianni as he plots a way to stop Patrick Mahomes and his team from winning a third straight Super Bowl title.
Speaking earlier this week, the 36-year-old was coy over his status.
‘I feel good. This has been the easiest injury, I’d say, out of the injuries I’ve had. Upper body stuff is a little bit easier,’ Graham said.
‘It’s just making sure I’m building muscle, I’m getting stronger and doing the right things to where I’m not re-hurting it. We’ll see what the docs say, see what’s going on, and go from there.’
Graham had hinted his career was over when he sustained the injury in the 37-20 win over the Los Angeles Rams last year.
‘If I had to go out like this, I gave everything I got,’ he said, speaking in the Eagles locker room.
At one stage, he appeared to fight back tears as he considered the prospect of never playing again.
