ESPN<\/a>. He had been diagnosed with a “rare, aggressive form of cancer” in February.<\/p>\nA GoFundMe page, which raised over $88,000 for Braman’s medical expenses, stated that the former NFL player underwent multiple surgeries while receiving treatment in Seattle.<\/p>\n
After playing collegiately at Idaho, Long Beach City College and West Texas A&M, Braman was not selected in the 2011 NFL draft.<\/p>\n
However, he signed with the Texans as an undrafted free agent and made the team as a special teamer and backup linebacker, which were roles he would play throughout his career.<\/p>\n
Braman spent three seasons in Houston and another four seasons with the Eagles, appearing in 97 regular-season games and recording 56 tackles, two fumble recoveries and 1.5 sacks.<\/p>\n
In 2017, which proved to be his final NFL campaign, Braman spent time on injured reserve with the New Orleans Saints before getting released and re-signing with the Eagles.<\/p>\n
He appeared in all three of the Eagles’ playoff games that season, including their Super Bowl LII win over the New England Patriots.<\/p>\n
Stellato noted that Braman leaves behind two daughters, aged 11 and 8.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Former Houston Texans and Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Bryan Braman died of cancer Thursday at the age of 38.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":400,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[559],"tags":[64,63,593,85],"class_list":["post-399","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/399","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=399"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/399\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/400"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=399"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=399"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=399"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
