What happened: Graham was first listed as questionable to return before being downgraded later in the game. He entered the night on a four-sack run through his first three games of 2026.

Why it matters: Losing Graham removes a disruptive interior presence at a time when his early pass-rush jump had already outpaced his 2025 production. It also revives a health concern after Graham was seen in a walking boot at mandatory minicamp in June.

By the numbers: 2026: 4 sacks through 3 games entering Thursday. 2025: 49 tackles and 0.5 sacks in 17 games. Drafted No. 5 overall in 2025.

What to watch: The next update to watch is whether the knee issue costs Graham more time beyond Thursday night and how quickly he returns to practice.
