In recent days, head coach Nick Sirianni and the rest of the Eagles have been talking about the possibility of having the full roster ready to face the Chiefs. With that in mind, Philadelphia and Kansas City have been studying tactics for the Super Bowl for days, but now the final roster is about to be announced.

The good news for the Eagles is that defensive end Brandon Graham has been activated and is no longer on injured reserve. He is expected to play in Super Bowl LIX against Reid‘s Chiefs after last seeing action in Week 12 against the Los Angeles Rams.

The Super Bowl could be the final game in the career of Graham, a teammate of Hurts who has been a historic symbol of the Eagles over the years. The 36-year-old veteran has been with Philadelphia since the 2010 season and has appeared in a total of 206 games.
