Nick Sirianni is well-acquainted with the loneliness that sets in as a football player sidelined with a serious injury, much like the feeling Brandon Graham might experience after going on injured reserve due to his season-ending triceps tear.

Graham, playing in his team-record 206th Eagles game, tore a triceps muscle late in the fourth quarter of a 37-20 win over the Rams, the Eagles’ seventh in a row. Immediately afterward, Sirianni had declined to talk about Graham’s prognosis, until after he’d discussed the matter in detail with club medical officials.

Brandon Graham's season is over after suffering a torn triceps but Nick Sirianni still needs him to lead the Eagles.
