As the Eagles hope for a kick in the pants that would turn around a disappointing season, they’re poised to get some help after their upcoming bye.

Per a league source, defensive end Brandon Graham, who has been recuperating from a torn ACL, is fully expected to emerge from the Physically Unable to Perform list when the Eagles host the Cowboys on October 30.

Graham tore an ACL last December, against the Cowboys.

Graham, a first-round pick in 2010, had three sacks in 13 games last season. There has been some speculation that, given the presence of Jason Babin and Trent Cole (who currently injured but is expected back), Graham could play linebacker.
