Brandon Graham’s career may be over after a tough Eagles injury

Brandon Graham’s 15-season career may be over.

The Eagles pass rusher revealed he suffered a season-ending torn triceps during Sunday night’s 37-20 win over the Rams.

Graham said before the campaign that he planned for this to be his final season, but he certainly did not close the door on a return after the game.

“I don’t want to go out like this, but if it points in that direction, hey, we’ll see.” Graham said. “I don’t know what the team is going to feel at that point. But I do know I don’t want to go out like that. I definitely want to be able to finish a whole season before I’m done.

“But if it’s not in the cards, I’m happy with where I’m at, too. I’m just not there yet. I’m thinking, let’s get this over with and let’s see how the rehab goes and then we’ll go from there. “

The Eagles are riding high with seven straight wins, buoyed by a Saquon Barkley-led offense that is thriving and a defense that has found its footing after a rough start.

Graham, 36, has helped the Eagles’ pass rush with three sacks, including a strong game Sunday night with a sack, two tackles for loss and three quarterback hits.

The veteran said the injury occurred when he was chipped on a play, with multiple reports noted that he left in the fourth quarter.

If Graham has played his last snap, he will finish in franchise history with 76.5 sacks after being drafted No. 13 overall in the 2010 NFL Draft.

“If I was going to go out like this, I love the way I gave everything out there on the field,” Graham said. “All I know is they’re not done with me yet. I’m going to make sure I go out there and be the best leader I can be like I always do. Keep bringing the energy and let people know how lucky they are because I’m out.”

Losing Graham is a blow to a team that seems to be establishing itself as one of the league’s best.

The Eagles are No. 2 seed in the NFC and a game behind the Lions for home field advantage. They visit the Ravens in Week 13 in a possible Super Bowl preview.

Graham said he believes he can still help the team reach its lofty goals.

“Like I told the boys, man, the mission is still the mission,” Graham said. “We’re pouring everything we can into this game. If I said I trust God, I trust God. I’m just having fun.

“I’m enjoying this little rehab and then I’m enjoying leading this team for the rest of the year, as soon as I can put my foot out there I’ll be out there. Man, we had fun out there and we’re still going to have fun.”
