Brandon Graham Returns to Eagles for Record 16th Season, Ready to Bring Energy

Eagles legend Brandon Graham is set to make his 2025 debut against the Packers, officially coming out of retirement for his franchise-record 16th NFL season. Graham, 37, unretired a few weeks ago and has been preparing during practice and the bye week, feeling fresh and ready to contribute. He aims to bring energy to the team and is excited to see how new additions like Jaelan Phillips bolster the edge rusher rotation. Graham's return marks his 207th career regular season game, surpassing Jason Kelce's franchise record. Despite tearing his triceps last season, he felt he was still playing at a high level and decided to continue his career, viewing the competition in the deep edge rushing room as 'iron sharpening iron.'
