Brandon Graham’s excessive trash talk at practice is an indicator he’ll play in Super Bowl LIX

Brandon Graham is back and doing more than looking to stay in shape with intense cardio. Graham has said all the right things about taking his return one day at a time, but just 24 hours away from the team departing for New Orleans, the legendary pass rusher logged his third straight practice since having his practice window opened.

On Saturday following a session closed to the media, Lane Johnson said that Brandon Graham was out there at Philadelphia Eagles practice “flying around” and “talking mess,” a clear indicator he’ll have a role in Super Bowl LIX.

According to Olivia Reiner of the Philadelphia Inquirer, Graham was able to participate in team drills in practice today for the first time this week.

Graham suffered a torn Triceps late in the second half against the Rams in Week 12, ending his regular season after 11 games.

Graham had two tackles, one sack, two tackles for loss, one pass defended, and three quarterback hits in the win over Los Angeles. Graham finished the 2024 regular season with 13 tackles, 2.5 sacks, one forced fumble, a 75.7 grade from PFF, 13 QB hurries, and 19 QB pressures.

The 35-year-old Graham is third on the Eagle’s all-time sack list (75.5) and tied with Seth Joyner for second in team history in forced fumbles (21). Graham broke Chuck Bednarik’s record for the most seasons played with the franchise (15).
