In yet another sign that Sam Bradford could very well make his return this weekend, the Daily Oklahoman is reporting that the Oklahoma quarterback has split snaps with the first-team offense this week.
The paper cited an unnamed source close to the program.
Additionally, head coach Bob Stoops said Bradford has suffered no setbacks in his recovery from a sprained AC joint in his throwing shoulder this week. Still, Stoops was not ready to lean one way or the other on Bradford’s availability for the Miami game Saturday night.
“That’s positive in that everything to this point that he has done he has handled in a positive way and he has made daily progress,” Stoops said. “That part is encouraging. But it’s just too early to determine his status for Saturday. I’m not able to give the answer yet, until we see what Sam’s capable of throughout the week. Is he able to make all the throws? Is he able to do it without too much soreness? How does he react the next day?
“All of those things need to be determined, and they won’t be determined until we get later in the week, probably sometime Thursday or Friday, and maybe Saturday, depending on how it goes.”
