Eagles DE Brandon Graham activated off IR for Super Bowl LIX

Brandon Graham

The Philadelphia Eagles activated defensive end Brandon Graham from injured reserve on Saturday, giving the oldest player on the roster a chance to play the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX.

Graham, 36, is listed as questionable (elbow) on the injury report for Sunday’s game in New Orleans, which he has said could be his final game before retirement.

He was a limited participant in practice Wednesday and Thursday before practicing in full on Friday.

The Eagles made room on the roster by placing offensive lineman Nick Gates (groin) on injured reserve.

Philadelphia’s game-day elevations, announced Saturday, are fullback Khari Blasingame and linebacker Nicholas Morrow.

Kansas City has elevated linebacker Swayze Bozeman and cornerback Steven Nelson from the practice squad.

Graham, a team captain in his 15th season with the Eagles, was placed on injured reserve on Nov. 26 after tearing a triceps muscle in a Week 12 win against the Los Angeles Rams.

He is the Eagles’ all-time leader with 206 games played and ranks third in franchise history with 76.5 sacks. Graham tallied 3.5 sacks, seven quarterback hits and 20 tackles in 11 games (one start) this season.

Graham was one of the heroes of Philadelphia’s 41-33 win against the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LII, recording a strip-sack of Tom Brady late in the fourth quarter to help clinch the franchise’s first Lombardi Trophy.
