Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Brandon Graham, who suffered a torn triceps tendon 11 weeks ago, has been cleared to play in the Super Bowl against the Kansas City Chiefs. Graham, 36, initially thought his season was over after the injury in November, but returned to practice last week and was officially activated for the Super Bowl.
Philadelphia Eagles star defensive end Brandon Graham was cleared to return from a torn triceps suffered 11 weeks ago and will play in the Super Bowl against Kansas City. The 36-year-old Graham was thought to be done for the season after he was injured in a Nov. 24 game against the Los Angeles Rams. Graham was placed on injured reserve two days later, seemingly ending what he had called the final season of his career.
The Eagles' first-round pick out of Michigan in 2010, Graham said in training camp this would be his final season. His injury caused him to reexamine his choice, though his retirement decision isn't final. He is responsible for one of the great moments in Eagles history with his strip-sack of New England's Tom Brady in the Super Bowl with 2:21 left in the fourth quarter. Derek Barnett recovered and the Eagles hung on to win 41-33.
