Brandon Graham really left it all on the field to win his second Super Bowl title.
Graham — the longest-tenured Eagle — suffered what was believed to be a season-ending left triceps tear in a Sunday Night Football win over the Los Angeles Rams on Nov. 24.
Rather miraculously, the 36-year-old returned from the injury to play in the 40-22 blowout win over the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX on Feb. 9. It came at a price, though, according to Derrick Gunn:

Graham recorded a solo tackle in the victory, which saw Josh Sweat, Zack Baun and the Eagles defense smother Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs.
Though he hasn't formally announced his retirement, Graham said after the 2023 season that he was anticipating 2024 being his final NFL campaign. Graham has cracked the door open a few times since then to possibly keep playing, but sustaining a second tear to his triceps might be his body's way of telling him it's time. And if so, he goes out in legendary fashion.
