Bradford to make return vs. Baylor
OKLAHOMA CITY -- Heisman Trophy winner
Sam Bradford will return from a sprained right shoulder and start for No. 19 Oklahoma on Saturday against Baylor in Norman.
Bradford missed the Sooners' last three games after spraining the AC joint in his throwing shoulder in a loss to BYU. Coach Bob Stoops said Friday that the quarterback has recovered enough to play in the team's Big 12 opener. "Sam has had a great week of practice and is ready to play," Stoops said in a statement. "We're obviously excited to have him back."
Bradford said earlier in the week that he hoped to play against the Bears (3-1) so he could get a game under his belt before next week's rivalry game against No. 2 Texas in Dallas. But he also said there was a chance he could still need surgery on his shoulder in the offseason, creating doubt over how his recovery was going.
The Sooners have all but fallen out of the national championship race since Bradford's injury, suffering their second loss of the season last Saturday night at Miami.
