The Philadelphia Eagles will play the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday following a 2-game losing streak. Nick Wright, Chris Broussard, and Kevin Wildes ask if they should expect a big game from Jalen Hurts, and how much the Dallas Cowboys vs. Washingto...

The Philadelphia Eagles’ defense took a hit over the last week as Za’Darius Smith abruptly decided to retire from the NFL following the team’s loss to the New York Giants.

Ahead of the Eagles’ Week 7 game against the Minnesota Vikings, multiple reports indicated that the team could get back some support on defense with the possible return of Brandon Graham.

Graham, 37, retired after the Eagles defeated the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX. He was the longest-tenured Eagles player in franchise history, spending 15 seasons with Philadelphia. He could be in line for a 16th season if the two sides finalize a contract.

ESPN reported that he’s "strongly considering" coming out of retirement to re-join the Eagles.

Philadelphia selected Graham in the first round of the 2010 NFL Draft out of Michigan. He didn’t begin as a starter. It took him a few seasons for him to earn the role as a full-time pass-rusher and someone the Eagles could rely on consistently.
