The Philadelphia Eagles received some crushing injury news following their Week 2 loss to the San Francisco 49ers.
According to multiple reports, veteran defensive lineman Brandon Graham is out for the year with a torn Achilles injury.
Graham, 33, has been with the Eagles since 2010. The former first-round pick out of Michigan has been a stalwart for the Philadelphia defense. He was a second-team All-Pro in 2016 and a Pro Bowler last season.
Unfortunately, the Eagles will have to move forward without him in 2021.

Can confirm the same about Brandon Graham, per NFL source. Not a surprise considering how the injury occurred.
Brutal loss for the #Eagles. BG is the team’s heart and soul, not to mention still one of their best defenders. https://t.co/KWaKKbz6OO

Brandon Graham is my favorite Eagles player ever. Just so bummed about this one. Really hope he’s ok.
