Bradford completed 32-of-45 passes for 333 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions Sunday against the Saints.
Bradford connected with nine different receivers, throwing his touchdown passes to wide receiver Josh Huff and tight end Brent Celek. Both of Bradford's interceptions came in the end zone, but he bounced back very well to lead the Eagles to a 22-point win. After starting the season with three consecutive games with a single touchdown, Bradford now has five scores in the last two games heading into Week 6 against the Giants.

Bradford completed 15-of-28 passes for 270 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's loss to the Redskins. He also gained 14 yards on his only carry of the game.
Philadelphia trailed throughout the game and connected on four pass plays of over 30 yards, leading to some gaudy numbers for the veteran despite the meager completion total. The offense has struggled as a whole this season relative to expectations, averaging just 19.5 points per game, but Bradford is still capable of putting up numbers in Chip Kelly's system. Week 5 brings a matchup with a Saints team that has allowed the second-most fantasy points to quarterbacks this season.

Bradford completed 14-of-28 passes for 118 yards and a touchdown Sunday against the Jets.
Despite playing without DeMarco Murray (hamstring), the Eagles had success moving the ball on the ground, as they gave it to their running backs 36 times en route to 125 yards. However, Bradford struggled to get much going, connecting with only four receivers, including running back Ryan Mathews who caught two passes for 20 yards and Bradford's lone touchdown. Wideout Jordan Matthews continues to get a high number of Bradford's targets, but the two will have to start connecting more in the end zone for Bradford to make a meaningful fantasy impact. Up next is a Week 4 trip to Washington.

Bradford struggled in Sunday's 20-10 loss to Dallas, completing 23-of-37 pass attempts for 224 yards. He tossed one touchdown and committed three turnovers (two interceptions and a fumble).
If not for a garbage touchdown in the final two minutes of the game, it would have been an absolutely horrific performance from Bradford. Even still, it was a rough outing, as he missed a lot of throws and generally looked out of sync. One of his interceptions came in the end zone on a short throw he had no business trying to make. For some reason, the Eagles' rushing attack has been abysmal through two games, which certainly isn't helping the offense or Bradford. There is too much talent for Philadelphia to be kept down for too long, but Week 3 won't be easy, traveling to New York to face the Jets.

Bradford (ankle) wasn't listed on the Eagles' injury report Wednesday.
There was some worry in the aftermath of Sunday's regular season opener that Bradford had sprained his ankle due to an evident limp, but whatever may have ailed him didn't hinder his practice reps to kick off this week. He'll thus prepare for his second game as an Eagle on Sunday against the Cowboys.
Tue Sep 15 201513:56Bradford may have sprained ankle during Monday's loss to Falcons
Bradford may have sprained an ankle during Monday's loss to the Falcons, but he didn't appear to be limping after the game, Les Bowen of the Philadelphia Daily News reports.
This doesn't sound like anything that will threaten Bradford's availability for Week 2 against the Cowboys, but it might impact his mobility. Wednesday's injury report should provide the first meaningful bit of information.

Bradford completed 36-of-52 passes for 336 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in Monday night's loss to the Falcons.
Bradford started the game showing obvious rust from not having played a regular season game since 2013, no less in a demanding, new offensive scheme. However, following a sluggish start, an in-sync Bradford was quite impressive during the second half, when he completed 21-of-25 passes. While two interceptions hurt his stock, Bradford's 56 total passing attempts allowed him to rack up considerable yardage, and he can take positives from Monday's second half performance into next weekend's game against the Cowboys.

Bradford completed all 10 of his passes Saturday evening, throwing for 121 yards and three touchdowns in the Eagles' 39-26 win over the Packers.
It's not often you can call a quarterback perfect without a little exaggeration, but Bradford was literally flawless against Green Bay. He hit his receivers in stride and fit balls into tight windows over and over. Long thought to be a backup quarterback option in most fantasy leagues, Bradford likely boosted his draft day stock in the eyes of owners who foresee Chip Kelly's offense meshing well with Bradford's accurate passing. He looks healthy and ready to go for Week 1.

Bradford (knee) expects to play in Saturday's preseason game against the Packers, but it is unclear how much of the field he will see, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Eagles head coach Chip Kelly let his starting quarterback play deep into the third preseason game the past two years, but neither Mike Vick nor Nick Foles was coming back from a torn ACL. Kelly suggested that Bradford's playing time could be affected by the weather, with the forecast in Green Bay calling for rain this weekend.

Bradford (knee) completed three of five passes for 35 yards in Saturday's preseason game against the Ravens.
Bradford was sharp on his only drive, leading the Eagles 84 yards for a touchdown, albeit with major assists from the running game and penalties. Mark Sanchez also played well, but it seems Bradford is locked in as the Week 1 starter, assuming his knee holds up and he isn't terrible in the final two preseason games.

Bradford (knee) is starting Saturday's preseason game against the Ravens, Les Bowen of the Philadelphia Daily News reports.
Bradford will thus make his first official appearance as an Eagle. Expect him to continue to solidify his hold on the starting quarterback gig over Mark Sanchez.
Sun Aug 16 201510:51Bradford (knee) threw 50-yard passes as part of pregame regimen
Bradford (knee), who is inactive for Sunday's preseason opener against the Colts, threw 50-yard passes as part of a pregame regimen, Zach Berman of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Bradford's absence Sunday is likely precautionary in nature, as he's expected to play in the second preseason contest against the Ravens. While Mark Sanchez will attempt to use the preseason to catch Bradford, that latter remains the clear favorite to start for the Eagles come Week 1.

Bradford (knee) will not play in Sunday's preseason opener against the Colts.
The Eagles are just being cautious, as Mark Sanchez will get the start on Sunday, but Bradford will play in next week's preseason game against the Ravens. Despite some early talk of an open competition, Bradford has emerged as the clear favorite to start for the Eagles in Week 1, taking the majority of first-team reps at training camp.
Thu Aug 6 201515:38Bradford said knee feels "great" after four days of practices
Bradford said his knee feels "great" after four days of practices, Comcast SportsNet Philadelphia reports.
In the first half-week of training camp, Bradford has taken the majority of the snaps at quarterback with the first-team offense. It's his first 11-on-11 action since suffering an ACL injury last August, but the Eagles haven't restricted his play. The "open competition" between Bradford and fellow quarterback Mark Sanchez has been largely one-sided thus far. If Bradford's knee is feeling good, the team's first preseason game on August 16 will be a must-watch to gauge how he looks against a live defense.
Tue Aug 4 201511:38The Eagles are discussing short-term deal with Bradford
The Eagles are discussing a short-term deal with Bradford, ESPN reports.
Bradford has taken the majority of the first-team snaps over the first two days of training camp. Head coach Chip Kelly said there would be an open quarterback competition between Bradford and Mark Sanchez, but Bradford has had the upper hand thus far. With a potential contract in the works to extend Bradford past 2015, it seems the Eagles likely view him as their starting quarterback of the present and future.

Bradford (knee) will not wear a knee brace and is expected to be able to play in the team's first preseason game, Zach Berman of The Philadelphia Enquirer reports.
This, of course, is barring any further injury for Bradford, as he is returning from his second ACL tear in as many seasons. However, when Bradford is ready to go, he will be expected to emerge over Mark Sanchez as the Eagles's starting quarterback for the 2015 and make a strong impact in an offensive scheme that has shown to be quarterback-friendly.

Bradford -- who is bouncing back from his second ACL tear in as many seasons -- is expected to be able to participate in 11-on-11 drills from the get-go in training camp, nj.com reports.
Confirmation of such an outcome will arrive one way or the other when the Eagles open up their training camp on Aug. 2, but the report encouragingly relays that the quarterback has looked very good this offseason. Assuming no further injury setbacks, we'd expect Bradford to emerge as the Eagles' starting QB this coming season, though Mark Sanchez is also in the mix and has been told that he will compete for the team's starting job.
Tue Jun 2 201513:31Sam Bradford: (Knee) Participating In 7-On-7 Drills
Bradford (knee) participated in competitive drills Tuesday for the first time this offseason, NFL.com's Albert Breer reports.
According to Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer, Bradford participated in the 7-on-7 portion of practice but not in full-team drills. It still marks a significant step in Bradford's recovery from a torn ACL, especially in the wake of recent reports suggesting that he's no lock to be ready for Week 1. Assuming he's healthy by the end of training camp, Bradford is the favorite to start Week 1, although head coach Chip Kelly made it quite clear that Mark Sanchez will also get to compete for the job. The team has invested far more resources in Bradford, but Sanchez has already played under Kelly for a year.
Thu May 28 201512:11Bradford (knee) limited to start Eagles' OTA's
Bradford (knee) has been limited to start Eagles' OTA's, NFL.com reports.
Bradford's workload has been monitored thus far, but coach Chip Kelly said the quarterback is "on schedule" to throw 7-on-7 drills beginning next week. Of course, Philadelphia won't rush him along in his recovery from a second ACL tear, but the hope is that he won't be limited when the 2015 season opens.
Tue Apr 28 201512:14The Browns are still interested in acquiring Bradford (knee)
The Browns are still interested in acquiring Bradford (knee), but a trade is unlikely to happen because the quarterback wants to plays for Philadelphia, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
The implication is that Bradford wouldn't be willing to sign an extension with the Browns, which makes the team unlikely to surrender a high draft pick in exchange for the 27-year-old former No. 1 overall draft pick. Bradford only has one season remaining on his rookie contract, and he seemingly likes the idea of finally playing for a team that's had some recent success.
