INGLEWOOD, Calif. – Brandon Graham, the Philadelphia Eagles‘ longest tenured player is done for the season.

Graham announced he is out for the year with a torn triceps after the Eagles’ 37-20 victory over Los Angeles Rams.

“I’m out for the rest of the year, really. I tore my triceps, Graham said in the locker room. “If I was going to go out like this, I gave everything I got.”

Graham said the injury occurred when he was hit on the elbow.

The 36-year-old defensive end had two tackles, a sack and three quarterback hits in the win. He was playing a solid game at the time of his injury.

Eagles coach Nick Sirianni said he was not ready to announce Graham’s injury during his postgame press conference.

Graham, a 15-year veteran, has appeared in a franchise-record 206 regular-season games. He signed a one-year deal with the Eagles this offseason, and there has been speculation that 2024 would be his final NFL season.

Graham had 76.5 career sacks, the third most in Eagles team history. His biggest sack came in Super Bowl 52which helped Philadelphia defeat the New England Patriots.

“Very unfortunate for the man, first and the teammate, second. A guy who has loved this franchise,” Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts said. “Always trying to lift them up and really just teach young guys coming in. You have to think about a guy as deep as he is and his tenure. It’s bigger than the game.”
