Fisher: Unlikely Bradford will play this week

[PolarBear]

ST. LOUIS — Rams coach Jeff Fisher says it is "unlikely" quarterback Sam Bradford, coming off knee surgery, will play in the preseason opener.

Bradford has said he feels fine with no worries. He missed the final nine games last season and is wearing a brace on the left knee.

Fisher said Tuesday night that for now he's seeing enough from Bradford on the practice field. He plans to use Bradford later in the preseason.

Fisher said offensive tackle Jake Long, also coming off knee surgery, would be held out Friday. Center Scott Wells also is unlikely to play against New Orleans.

Even though I would love to see Bradford play, with Wells and Long sitting out. I don't want to see Bradford going against the Saints starting Defense without our starting O Line!!! Especially since the last two visits to the Dome the Rams have gotten the best of the Saints.

I think Bradford plays against the Packers and Browns

I agree.

No rush. Bradford is a vet now.

He really only needs 2 games as does Long and Wells. No need to get the QB hurt.

This is good to hear. I wasn't in favor of him playing in that game - though of course I would like to see him play. I would bet he gets some reps in the next one.

I have to wonder how many snaps Saffold will even be in there.

The Big G should get some snaps at LT and that will be okay. After he's done if the Saints aren't playing 3rd stringers I would just run the ball.
