Brandon Graham, the All-Pro defensive end, is one of the most loved players in NFL history. His announcement about missing the rest of the season due to a torn triceps, suffered in Week 12 against the Rams, hit hard for both the team and its fans.
Brandon Graham is now thinking about whether this will be his last season in the NFL, as Year 15 didn’t go as he hoped. Since his draft in 2010, Graham has been a key player for the Eagles and was visibly emotional when he spoke to reporters about his injury.
He admitted to injuring his triceps in the second half. “I’m about to enjoy this little rehab and I’m about to enjoy leading this team the rest of the year. As soon as I can be out there I’m going to be out there… And we’re still gonna have fun. But I’m out for the year,” he said.
This sucks.

Fans react to Brandon Graham’s injury news
It’s always possible for surprises to happen in sports. The severity of his triceps tear and his age (36 years) make it highly unlikely for him to return this season.
Additionally, Brandon Graham himself has stated that he’s out for the year. Therefore, many believe he is unlikely to make a comeback in the upcoming season. That’s why fans are deeply upset.
