Experts release new Super Bowl prediction after critical early Brandon Graham update

Super Bowl 59 is set, and it’s a rematch of epic proportions. The Philadelphia Eagles will face the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, February 9, 2025, at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, with kickoff scheduled for 6:30 p.m. EST.

The buzz surrounding this showdown reached new heights on Sunday night when the Eagles secured the NFC Championship title. Adding fuel to the excitement, rumors of a potential return for Eagles veteran defensive end Brandon Graham have taken center stage.

Graham, who has been sidelined since November due to a torn triceps sustained during a win against the L.A. Rams, was widely expected to miss the remainder of the season. However, recent developments suggest the iconic defensive end could suit up for the Big Game.

"You know what, man? We'll see. Tomorrow I go meet up, and we’ll see if it’s a possibility. I’ve been working, man, but we’ll see," Graham told reporters after the Eagles’ victory.

Philadelphia sports columnist Marcus Hayes also hinted at a possible return, reporting that a team source expects Graham to come off the injured reserve list and attempt to prepare for Super Bowl 59.

A team source said he expects Brandon Graham to come off IR on Monday and try to get ready for Super Bowl LIX.

Graham told me he hasn’t tested his torn triceps full-bore, but what he’s done showed promising results.
