Bradford Injured
Arlington, TX – Heisman Trophy winner Sam Bradford sprained his throwing shoulder after he was slammed to the turf by a BYU player in the first half of Oklahoma’s game against the Cougars.
Bradford was on sideline with his right arm in sling and ice taped to his shoulder as the second half began Saturday night.,
Playing behind a line featuring four new starters, Bradford went down hard on a clean hit by Brigham Young linebacker Coleby Clawson in the closing seconds of the first half. Both players landed flush on Bradford’s right side and he immediately began writhing in pain.
The Sooners kicked a field goal on the next play to take a 10-7 halftime lead.
The injury was announced as a sprained AC joint and his return was questionable.
