Brandon Graham has one more in him.

After buzz Sunday morning that the franchise icon was considering ending his retirement, Graham indeed appears to be returning to the Eagles: 

In 11 games last season, Graham was still productive, posting 20 combined tackles, seven quarterback hits, six tackles for loss, three-and-a-half sacks and a forced fumble. 

However, Graham was limited to the 11 regular-season games because he suffered what was believed to be a season-ending torn triceps on Nov. 24. Rather amazingly, he returned for the Super Bowl LIX victory in February, but retore the triceps in the 40-22 victory. So when Graham retired in March after winning his second Super Bowl title, it kind of felt like a fitting end. 

With that said, the Eagles lost Super Bowl hero Josh Sweat in free agency, and Za'Darius Smith suddenly retired earlier this month. They are short in terms of edge rushers, so they probably could use the help of Graham. Whether the 37-year-old's body would hold up for the remainder of the season is unclear, but it might be worth a shot.
