Brandon Grahams career may be over after tough Eagles injury

Brandon Graham’s 15-season career may be over.The Eagles pass rusher revealed that he suffered torn triceps that will end his season during the 37-20 win over the Rams on Sunday night.Graham said before the campaign that he planned for this to be his last season but didn’t definitely close the door on a return after the game.“I don’t want to go out like this but if it’s pointing toward that, hey, we’ll see,” Graham said.“I don’t know what the team is going to be feeling at that time.
