Graham (groin) holds no injury designation ahead of Friday's matchup with the Bears.
EDGE Analysis
After failing to participate in Tuesday's walkthrough practice, Graham was able to fully participate Thursday and dodge injury designation for Sunday's contest. The linebacker's presence provides great depth to an already strong Eagles linebacker room heading into a primetime matchup.

Graham (groin) did not participate in Tuesday's walkthrough practice.
EDGE Analysis
Graham may have tweaked his groin during the Eagles' overtime loss to the Cowboys on Sunday, when he played 11 snaps (eight on defense, three on special teams) but did not show up in the box score otherwisee. The veteran pass rusher came out of retirement in late October and has served in a rotational role over the Eagles' last three games, but his absence would open the door for Joshua Uche to see more snaps on defense. Graham will have two more opportunities to increase his practice participation and avoid an injury designation heading into Friday's game against the Bears.

Graham was removed from the exempt list Monday, making the 2010 first-rounder officially a member of the Eagles' 53-man roster, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
EDGE Analysis
Graham opted to come out of retirement to sign a one-year, $4.89 million contract with the Eagles on Oct. 23. With the Eagles coming out of the Week 9 bye, the veteran pass rusher is in line to make his 2025 regular-season debut Week 10 against the Packers on Monday, Nov. 10.

Graham (coach's decision) is officially listed as out for Sunday's game versus the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Graham just came out of retirement to sign a one-year contract with Philadelphia on Thursday, and it appears the team would like to give him more time to get reacclimated before throwing him straight back into game action. For Week 8 at least, 2024 third-rounder Jalyx Hunt and Joshua Uche figure to be the Eagles' top two options on the edge.

Philadelphia signed Graham to a one-year, $4.89 million contract Thursday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Eagles officially reinstated Graham from the reserve/retired list Tuesday, priming the 37-year-old pass rusher to return to the NFL and play out his 16th season with the team that selected him back in the first round of the 2010 NFL Draft. He's now officially re-signed with Philadelphia on a deal that includes a $1.678 million signing bonus. The Eagles have been granted a two-game roster exemption for Graham, meaning the veteran will need to be officially activated in order to be eligible for Sunday's game against the Giants, and he could be kept on the exempt list until after the team's Week 9 bye.

The Eagles reinstated Graham from the reserve/retired list Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Graham officially is set to come out of retirement and play his 16th season in Philadelphia. The 37-year-old will look to help bolster the team's pass rush, which currently is shorthanded due to injuries to both Azeez Ojulari (hamstring) and Nolan Smith (triceps) in addition to Za'Darius Smith's surprise retirement. According to EJ Smith of The Philadelphia Inquirer, the Eagles have been granted a two-game roster exemption for Graham, who would need to be activated in order to play Sunday against the Giants. If the Eagles don't feel Graham is ready to play this weekend, the team could delay his activation until after their Week 9 bye.

Graham will come out of retirement and sign with the Eagles, James Palmer of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's unclear whether Graham will sign with the practice squad or directly to the Eagles' active roster, but the 37-year-old linebacker will rejoin the team that selected him in the first round of the 2010 NFL Draft. It may take some time for Graham to get back into game shape, but he could see a prominent role in the defense once he's cleared to play with both Nolan Smith (triceps) and Ogbo Okoronkwo (triceps) on injured reserve and Azeez Ojulari dealing with a hamstring injury that he sustained in Philadelphia's 28-22 win over Minnesota on Sunday.

Graham retired from the NFL in March, but he is considering coming out of retirement to sign with the Eagles, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Graham was selected by the Eagles in the first round of the 2010 NFL Draft. He spent his entire 15-year career in Philadelphia (becoming the longest-tenured player in franchise history in the process) and played a key role in the Eagles' two Super Bowl victories in 2017 and 2024. The Eagles could do with more depth at edge rusher, as Nolan Smith (triceps) and Ogbo Okoronkwo (triceps) are both on injured reserve, the latter of whom is expected to be sidelined for the entire 2025 campaign.

Graham announced his retirement from the NFL on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Graham concludes his 15-year career with the Eagles on a high note, having started out hot in 2024 before going down to injury, then retaking the field in time to contribute during Philadelphia's win over Kansas City in Super Bowl LIX. The 2010 first-round pick retires as a two-time Super Bowl champion, with 487 tackles, including 76.5 total sacks, to his name.

Graham finished the 2024 season with 20 total tackles (15 solo), including 3.5 sacks, while also adding two passes defensed and a forced fumble over 11 regular-season games.
EDGE Analysis
Graham was operating at his typical high level of production before suffering a torn triceps in Week 12 against the Rams. The 36-year-old was able to make his return for the team's 40-22 win over Kansas City in the Super Bowl on Feb. 9, which may end up being his final NFL contest. Graham will enter the offseason as an unrestricted free agent and he's expected to consider retirement.
