28-Year-Old
Portland Timbers
MLS
OUT
Injury Back
Est. Return 5/9/2026
Present in team training
McGraw (back) took part in some drills with the squad during Thursday's practice, Adam Susman of The Timber Review reports.
ANALYSIS
McGraw is nearing a return to full workload after missing the first eight games of the season while recovering from back surgery. However, he hasn't played in an MLS match in over a year, so it could take some more time for him to get significant playing time. Until then, Finn Surman and Alex Bonetig will remain the team's top center-back options.
