As they prepare for the Super Bowl, the Eagles announced they've opened the practice windows for defensive end Brandon Graham and tight end C.J. Uzomah.
Graham went on Injured Reserve shortly after announcing he tore his triceps following the 37-20 win over the Rams on Sunday Night Football in Week 12.
The 15-year veteran originally said he was "out for the season" in the locker room after the first meeting with the Rams, but he is doing what he can to get ready for the big game on Feb. 9.
"We'll see. Tomorrow, I'll go meet up and we'll see if it's a possibility. I've been working man, but we will see," Graham said after the Eagles won the NFC Championship. "At the end of the day, I'm just happy we got there. Those boys scored 55 today (Graham's jersey number) – that's what's up – so, that might be telling me something."
Uzomah was placed on IR on New Year's Day after playing in seven games (three starts) for the Eagles this season.
In addition, the Eagles have signed running back Lew Nichols to the practice squad and released tight end Nick Muse.
Nichols spent time with Philadelphia during Training Camp and the preseason in 2024 and returned to the practice squad a month ago.
He originally entered the NFL as a seventh-round pick of the Packers out of Central Michigan in 2023. He joined the Eagles' practice squad in October of his rookie season and finished the year in Philadelphia. He returned on a reserve/future deal in 2024. Nichols (5-10, 220 pounds) rushed for 3,061 yards, added 575 receiving yards, and scored 29 total touchdowns in 32 games at Central Michigan. He was the Mid-American Conference Offensive Player of the Year in 2021.
Muse did not see any game action with the Eagles after being signed to the practice squad on Jan. 22. Muse was originally a seventh-round pick by the Minnesota Vikings in 2022 out of South Carolina. He has played in 16 games over his three seasons, mainly as a practice squad elevation. – Written by Liam Wichser
