Bradford Down With Knee Injury (1 Viewer)

[LMF]

Bradford went down with a knee injury. Looking for updates as they come out. In the middle of a slow draft as I'm sure a lot of people are right now so just wanted to get the word out. I've been searching since it happens and these is what I have seem.

- His face showed he was in considerable pain.

- He walked off under his own power very gingerly.

- He walked himself to the locker room.

- It's the same knee (left) he hurt against Seattle last year that left him out for the year.

Got an offer out for Tavon right now that I'm probably going to pull

Sucks for him. His career as an NFL starter is over.

Bad luck for Bradford.

Shaun Hill looks almost as good.

Shefter just tweeted not an ACL re-injury. More tests Sunday.

"team dodged a bullet" per tweet

Everything from reliable sources say the initial tests were inconclusive, didn't reveal ACL damage. More tests tomorrow. While that is a good sign, it's not conclusive.

 

[Brewtown]

The injury did not look bad!

 

[Leeroy Jenkins]

Shaun Hill has shown he can play. If Bradford is out for the year though, who would be the qb?

ummm...Shaun Hill.

 

[Lott's Fingertip]

Shaun Hill is capable, certainly >>>>>> Kellen Clemens. But Bradford has a much higher likely ceiling. How high of a ceiling is up for debate, but Hill is probably only "capable".

Bradford has looked great all pre-season. Hope he's ok

Hill might be the best backup in the league, but he doesn't have the potential Bradford has.

NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported that Bradford will undergo an MRI on Sunday after initial tests were inconclusive, and Rams coach Jeff Fisher said he was "very optimistic" about Bradford's pending diagnosis.

If there's one thing we don't need here, it's well wishing.

Because Austin played pretty well when Bradford was out for the season. You pulled the offer too early.

 

[bulger2holt]

If Bradford can stay healthy, he's going to have a monster year. He finally has an o-line and weapons. Quick and Britt look like beasts. Both are 6'4 220 lbs and are just what Sam needs. Cook looks good too. 3 big, strong targets.

Not really. He disappeared almost the whole season after Bradford went down other than a few really big plays when they started using him differently. I don't think those plays had anything to do with Bradford being out. When Bradford was healthy he was at least forcing him the ball short.

Not sure I was thrilled with the offer anyways so it was a no-brainer to pull it until we know what's up with Bradford.

Offer was R. Mathews and M. Lee for Rice/Pierce and Austin.

I'm sorry man. I wasn't referencing any facts. Just turning the knife with Bradford fans.

Don't forget Stedman Bailey. He is out the first four weeks, but he has had a helluva summer, too.

Indeed. Tavon will have his role too. They will be tough to stop. Sam and the o-line just need to stay healthy, for once. Loaded with talent.

Per Rotoworld:

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the Rams have "real concern" Sam Bradford re-tore his left ACL in Saturday's preseason game.
Initial tests suggested the ligament was intact, but there is now "real concern that it is not," Schefter reports. Schefter and colleague Chris Mortensen are tight with Jeff Fisher, so we'd take anything they say about the Rams quite seriously. If Bradford is indeed lost for the year, the Rams would turn to Shaun Hill as their starting quarterback and continue to ride the run game.

There are obvious reasons they didn't feature him heavily in the passing game as they were getting ready for the season, but the "helluva summer" comment stems from the glowing reports all during the OTA's, and from both Bradford and Fisher about how he emerged as Sam's absolute go-to guy, and how far ahead he was of the other receivers on the team in terms of grasp of the offense, precision of route running, and time-after-time playmaking.

Discount if you wish -- probably smart in light of the latest Bradford setback -- but don't write it off based on the preseason statlines. He's still got to prove it to fantasy players on the field, but by all accounts, he didn't have to prove anything to Fisher et al during these preseason games.

That's not good. It didn't look good, very minor collision to have to fall down to the turf and go to the locker room. I'm not picking on Bradford but he just may not be made for long in the NFL. His contract was through the moon when he entered the league(no fault of his) and it just has not been all that good to this point. He had a tremendous OL and rarely was sacked in college, he does not look mobile at all in the modern NFL.

 

[bulger2holt]

The D-lineman came in and hit Sam awkwardly and Sam's knee seemed to be hyperextended backwards. Unfortunately it was the one he just had surgery on.

Mort reported on Twitter it is an ACL year, Bradford is out for the year.

Outside of the Super Bowl Era that lasted all of three seasons, being a Rams fan means you have to wrap yourself in the cloak of humiliation for the other seasons.

He should play with a brace and consider no ACL.

There have been many NFL players to do this before the surgery became popular in the 80s. There are some great articles on a Panthers CB that played his whole career without either and some of these articles list other NFL players that played without.

Sam doesn't run and his career probably can't handle sitting this year.

I can't think of that player's name....the CB.

Elway played a bunch of his career without an ACL and he ran way more than Sam.

Isn't Hines Ward the college player that played QB without an ACL and was a big discussion during that draft? Bert Emanuel? One of those QBs turned WR types

If this was a viable option 2014 don't you think someone would be attempting it?

I don't see how a CB could do that, that's crazy.
