Eagles' Brandon Graham comes out of retirement

Eagles defensive end Brandon Graham is coming out of retirement and looking for another shot at the Lombardi Trophy with the Birds.

Why it matters: The return of the veteran will fuel fans' hopes for a Super Bowl repeat while adding leadership and depth to the team.

Driving the news: Graham re-signed with the Eagles on Tuesday.

No ETA on when he'll take the field, but he said on his "Unblocked" podcast that he should be ready by Week 10 against the Green Bay Packers.

Graham said he has no expectations for his return.

"I know that they [the Eagles] got everything that they need … and [I] just can't wait to add a little more value."

Zoom in: The Eagles are 5-2, but injuries are taking a toll on the team's defense.

Plus: Edge rusher Za'Darius Smith, whom the Eagles recently signed, unexpectedly retired last week.

Catch up quick: Graham went out on top after helping the team win Super Bowl LIX earlier this year.

After 15 seasons with the Birds, he was already the team's all-time leader in games played (206).
