Yet, after last week\u2019s loss to the New York Giants, the Eagles had one of their players, Za\u2019Darius Smith, retire from the NFL. <\/p>\n<p>He played in just five games, but Smith did make two starts before hanging up his cleats at the age of 33. <\/p>\n<p>Yet, now the Eagles are signing a reinforcement, and oddly enough, they\u2019re pulling him out of retirement. <\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/JeffKerrCBS\/status\/1980404129047671182\">Jeff Kerr of CBS Sports<\/a>, former Pro Bowl defensive end Brandon Graham is \u201cexpected to announce his return\u201d to the Eagles on Tuesday morning. <\/p>\n<p>Graham won\u2019t be returning as a starter either. But the 37-year-old can still help in a rotational pass-rusher role. He\u2019s recorded 3 and 3.5 sacks in the past two seasons, but Graham did record 11 sacks in 2022. He did that all while making just one start.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, it could take the 15-year veteran some time to get up to full speed after being out of football all season long. For now, he\u2019ll do what he can while getting back into game shape, but there\u2019s no reason why he can\u2019t get a few snaps this week against the Giants on Sunday. He\u2019ll then have a bye week to continue ramping up his activity before taking on the Packers on Nov. 10. <\/p>\n<p>\t\t<img alt=\"avatar\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/cdc369fe6a9c435ab1a9344f358409a43c884a12b775d8a8492a08641e9e201e\"  class=\"avatar avatar-70 photo\" height=\"70\" width=\"70\" loading=\"lazy\" fetchpriority=\"low\" decoding=\"async\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\t\tSports  fan  since  birth.
