## Eagles’ Brandon Graham Suffers Torn Triceps, Out for Season
**Philadelphia, PA** – The Philadelphia Eagles have been dealt a significant blow to their defense, as veteran defensive end Brandon Graham has suffered a torn triceps injury that will sideline him for the remainder of the 2022 season.
Graham sustained the injury during the Eagles’ Week 2 victory over the Minnesota Vikings. He immediately exited the game and underwent an MRI, which confirmed the severity of the tear.
**Background and Impact**
Graham, a two-time Pro Bowl selection, has been a cornerstone of the Eagles’ defense since being drafted in the first round of the 2010 NFL Draft. He has recorded 58.5 sacks in his career, including 5.5 in 2021.
The 34-year-old’s absence will be a major loss for the Eagles, who are counting on their defense to be a strength this season. Graham’s ability to generate pressure on the quarterback and disrupt the run game will be difficult to replace.
**Eagles’ Defensive Outlook**
With Graham out, the Eagles will need to find a way to bolster their pass rush. Josh Sweat, who had 7.5 sacks last season, is expected to step into a more prominent role. Haason Reddick, who was signed in free agency this offseason, will also be counted on to provide pressure.
The Eagles could also look to elevate someone from their depth chart, such as Tarron Jackson or Kyron Johnson. However, neither player has significant starting experience in the NFL.
**Fantasy Football Implications**
Graham’s injury is a major setback for fantasy football owners who drafted him. He was projected to be a solid contributor in sacks and tackles for loss.
Fantasy owners who drafted Graham may want to consider adding another defensive end to their roster, such as Sweat or Reddick.
**Conclusion**
The loss of Brandon Graham is a significant blow to the Philadelphia Eagles. The veteran defensive end was a key piece of their defense, and his absence will be felt throughout the season.
The Eagles will need to find a way to replace Graham’s production, and it remains to be seen whether they can do so effectively. The injury is also a major setback for Graham, who was hoping to have a strong season and help the Eagles contend for a Super Bowl.
