Tue Dec 10 03:30:00 UTC 2024: ## Eagles’ Graham Walks Back Comments on Hurts-Brown Relationship

**PHILADELPHIA, PA** – Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Brandon Graham issued a swift apology Monday night, retracting earlier comments he made about a purported rift between quarterback Jalen Hurts and wide receiver A.J. Brown. Graham, initially suggesting a strained relationship between the two players—despite Hurts being the godfather of Brown’s child—later admitted he had jumped to conclusions and would apologize personally to both Hurts and Brown.

Graham’s initial comments, made to SportsRadio WIP, implied a breakdown in the friendship between Hurts and Brown, linking it to Brown’s post-game frustrations with the team’s passing game following Sunday’s win against the Carolina Panthers. He suggested that while the two were previously close, their relationship had changed, warning that personal issues could affect team performance.

However, in a subsequent interview with ESPN, Graham expressed regret, stating he’d made assumptions and didn’t intend to create division within the team. He emphasized his desire for the players to resolve any issues privately, rather than airing them through the media. Graham admitted his comments were a mistake and pledged to directly address the situation with Hurts and Brown.

While the extent of any conflict between Hurts and Brown remains unclear, Graham’s comments highlight a potential issue brewing within the Eagles locker room. Both Hurts and Brown are expected to address the situation later this week.
