PLAYERS: Sam Bradford
TEAMS: Oklahoma Sooners

Oklahoma quarterback Sam Bradford seems like he wants to return to the field with the Sooners after being sidelined since the season opener with a Grade 3 sprain of the A-C joint in his throwing shoulder. The burning question is when? Bradford began throwing with the team for the first time last week, leading to speculation he might return in time for last Saturday's non-conference showdown at Miami. Soreness in his shoulder as the week progressed caused the coaching staff and Bradford to nix that plan even after doctors cleared him to play. Now there is speculation the Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback will give it a shot during Saturday's Big 12 opener against Baylor if all goes well in practice this week. That would seem most ideal with the rivalry game with Texas coming up on Oct. 17 in Dallas.Sam Bradford's Return Still Up in Air originally appeared on Fanhouse NCAA Football Blog on Tue, 06 Oct 2009 20:50:00 EST .

  • I think he's going to play a few downs against Baylor this weekend. If the gets sacked on that shoulder, it will be over for the year. He's projected as the first pick in the draft next year in spite of the shoulder. Doctor said he couldn't hurt it any worse at this point. We'll see how he plays on Saturday. Would be nice to have him in for Texas because he can read defenses much better than Jones.
  • What a totally different team without Sam I did not think it would be that bad ,but boy was I wrong.
  • I think not having Gresham hurts more than not having Sam. With both of them out, it's not a good thing.
