The Eagles need help with their pass rush, and they might get it from a familiar face.
According to FOX’s Jay Glazer, Brandon Graham is considering coming out of retirement for the Eagles this season. Graham retired after the Super Bowl earlier this season.
The Eagles need help up front on defense after the abrupt retirement of Za’Darius Smith. After joining Philadelphia after Week 2, Smith retired last Monday. He had signed a one-year contract with the Eagles worth $9 million.
The Eagles only have nine sacks this season through six games, which is a far cry from what that defense is used to. It doesn’t help that defensive tackle Jalen Carter has also missed two games.
For reference, the Eagles had 45 sacks (2.6 per game) last season. They’re averaging just 1.5 so far this year.
Philadelphia could get help in the form of Graham, who played his entire 15-year career with the Eagles. The 37-year-old appeared in 11 games last season as he won his second Super Bowl ring. He had 3.5 sacks, but an injury limited him to only one playoff appearance. Graham tore his triceps in Week 12 of last season and then re-aggravated the injury in the Super Bowl.

Rashee Rice’s spectacular return restores Chiefs’ hope for a Super Bowl run
Rashee Rice is back as if he'd never left. After nearly a year's absence, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes recovered one of his best weapons, putting him to work immediately to tear apart the Las Vegas Raiders' defense.Selected in the second round (55th overall) in the 2023 NFL Draft, Rice made an immediate impact on the Chiefs' offense. In his rookie year, the SMU graduate caught 79 passes for 938 yards and seven touchdowns.Fans and experts expected 2024 to be Rice's breakout year, but it wasn't to be. The young receiver was sidelined for the season with a torn LCL after colliding with Mahomes in the Week 4 game.That wasn't all. In October 2024, Rice was involved in a vehicle accident in Texas, which left several people injured. This earned him a six-game suspension, which he has just served.Rashee […]
