Portland TimbersMakes bench in return
McGraw (back) is back fit and made the bench for Sunday's 3-1 Leagues Cup loss to Club America, according to the club.
Analysis: McGraw had been nearing a return to full workload after taking part in squad drills, following an extended absence tied to back surgery that had kept him out of MLS action for over a year. His inclusion on the matchday squad now confirms his recovery is complete, though Finn Surman figure to remain Portland's top center back option as he works his way back into contention for regular minutes.
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.
