INGLEWOOD, Calif. – The Eagles may have just lost a big part of their team.

Veteran defensive end Brandon Graham left the fourth quarter of the Eagles’ game against the Rams in Los Angeles with an elbow injury and was quickly ruled out.

Graham, 36, was checked out on the sideline by trainers, and then quarterback Jalen Hurts came up to him and hugged him and talked to him for a long moment. Then a crowd of players shook Graham’s hand as he left the field.

Graham is the longest tenured Eagles player and is in year 15. But he has played exceptionally well and had another good game Sunday before the injury. He had 2 tackles, 1 sack, 3 QB hits, 2 TFLs and a pass breakup before leaving the game.

While he previously said this would be his final NFL season, Graham has been open to the idea of a return. That’s how well he’s played this season.

The Eagles are already without Bryce Huff, who had wrist surgery on Thursday. They are down to Josh Sweat, Nolan Smith and Jalyx Hunt as their edge rushers on the 53-man roster.
