Sam Bradford Practices
Courtesy of ESPN.com's Tim Griffin:
Heisman Trophy winner Sam Bradford attempted to go through quarterback drills with Oklahoma on Monday as he rehabs from a sprained right shoulder.
Offensive coordinator Kevin Wilson said after practice that Bradford "was doing more today than he's done."
Kevin Wilson also cautioned people about being too optimistic about Bradford playing against Miami:
Wilson said it would be "interesting" as the Sooners go through the week to see how Bradford recovers. He thought Bradford would need to practice for at least a couple days before the Miami game to regain his timing with the Sooners for him to be able to play against Miami.
"I think he definitely has to practice. How much? I don't know. Coach Stoops and [quarterbacks coach] Josh [Heupel] can decide that," Wilson said. "The comforting thing is you know Landry's playing well enough that we can definitely have a chance against any opponent. The key deal is not Sam and not Landry at quarterback. It's the surrounding parts of our football team and playing well in all phases."
To his credit, Landry Jones is still treating practice like he's the starter:
"Right now, I am preparing like I will be the starter for Miami, just in case Sam's not back and not ready," Jones said.

I say go with Jones, a proven commodity
while the O-line is still in flux. A weak O-line will get Bradford smashed. Landry can handle the Miami game and if we lose, we lose… so what.
To risk further injury to Bradford just for a win would be stupid on the University’s part. Show some clas and let Landry play it out. Bradford need to realize he has nothing to prove, he is a winner, bit should heal totally before making an attempt at coming back. Bradford has to much to lose.
I agree with all of this
I want Bradford back….but only when he’s 100%. Not 75% and sucking it up about the last 25%.
I have no problem with Jones staring against Miami.
QB is not this team’s biggest issue. If this team wins or loses in Miami, it’s not the QB’s reason.
what if Jones throws 10 int’s? ;-)

can't wait
for Bradford to come back. But he should play it smart. We can still use Jones so Sam should use the recovery time until the TX game.
