PHILADELPHIA -- Defensive end Brandon Graham sees "an opportunity of a lifetime" for this Eagles team, which factored into his decision to unretire and play a 16th season for the franchise.

Graham participated in his first practice back with the team Wednesday. He joked afterward that his golf game was getting good "but now that sh--'s over with."

In reality, the 37-year-old Graham had been going through what he called his own training camp for months. According to fellow edge rusher Joshua Uche , he and Graham worked out together with a member of the Eagles' strength and conditioning staff dating back to the summer. Uche said he'd walk into the meeting room sometimes and see Graham watching film.

"He was training like a player the whole time," Uche said.
