Brandon Graham is coming out of retirement to rejoin the Philadelphia Eagles, giving the defense a veteran edge rusher who was part of two Super Bowl championship teams, a person with knowledge of the details told The Associated Press on Monday night.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity because a contract hasn´t been finalized.
Asked if he´s planning a comeback by the AP, Graham texted: "Let´s go!"
A first-round pick in 2010, the 37-year-old Graham has 76 1/2 sacks in 15 seasons. He missed six games last season after tearing his triceps, returned to play in Philadelphia´s Super Bowl victory over Kansas City and tore the triceps again in the game.
Graham´s most memorable play came when he strip-sacked Tom Brady to help secure a 41-33 victory over New England when the Eagles won the first Super Bowl in franchise history following the 2017 season.
The Eagles (5-2) had signed veteran edge rusher Za´Darius Smith last month but he retired last week.
