We already knew that Eagles defensive end Brandon Graham wasn’t expected back for the beginning of the season. Now we know part of the reason why it will take him so long to recover.
Kyle Meinke of AnnArbor.com reported that Graham underwent microfracture surgery after tearing his ACL last year. Multiple Philadelphia outlets have confirmed the news.
Graham tore his ACL in December, but the microfracture surgery will make his recovery a longer process than a usual ACL rehabilitation. (As the picture show, he can play golf again.)
He figures to be a candidate for the PUP list for the first six weeks of the season if he doesn’t show good progress in August.
