PHILADELPHIA -- Desperate times call for desperate measures.
Brandon Graham is returning to the Philadelphia Eagles seven months after the 37-year-old, two-time Super Bowl champion retired from the league. Graham made the official announcement on Tuesday morning, after being in discussions with the Eagles about coming back to help a pass rush that is in dire need of help, as the Eagles ranked 29th in the NFL in sack percentage (4.3%) and 26th in sacks (11.0).
The edge rushers have combined for 3.5 sacks through seven games, with Za'Darius Smith the leader in the clubhouse with 1.5 sacks. Smith retired from the NFL last week after only playing five games with the Eagles, and he wasn't on the roster Week 1. Josh Uche and Patrick Johnson are the only other Eagles edge rushers
