god, it's going to be ugly when predator goes taylor potts on that lindsey lohanesque frame.
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- Heisman Trophy winner Sam Bradford will return from a sprained right shoulder and start for No. 19 Oklahoma on Saturday against Baylor.
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.
Bradford said he still hadn't given up hope that Oklahoma could win the national le, the goal he set after deciding to skip the NFL draft and return to the Sooners after their run to the BCS championship game last season.
He said it would be selfish for him to sit out the rest of the season just because his team's national le hopes were slim and he could protect his shoulder.
"That's big for a guy like Sam to make the sacrifice that he made with the opportunity that he had in front of him to come back and work with us the next year," safety Sam Proctor said this week. "He's a very low-key guy, down-to-earth guy and that just says a lot about his character."
Bradford, considered a top NFL prospect, has been told there shouldn't be an elevated risk of re-injuring the shoulder by playing.
"I really don't think there's much concern for me taking a hit. From everything that I've received from the doctors, it's like taking any other hit. It can't do much more damage," Bradford said. "The odds of me hurting it now are just like the odds of me hurting it before anything happened to it."

i missed the memo about 'taylor potts' being slang for getting blowed up. i like it.
I do like the fact that he is comeing back, but i dont belive he should ever play another down for the sooners....i might fell diffrently if we (yes i said we) had only one loss but with two there is almost no way to win the nc and too many of his weapons are missing as well
Bradford would be smart to come back next season. All this time he missed might hurt his stock, and there are a load of QB's that could come out.
ain't comin' back. dude's family needs to kidnap him and take him to Deion's house.
He should ask scouts to evaluate where he would most likely be going. Sometimes leaving early could cost you millions.
coming back has cost him millions. can't see why he would make the same mistake.
Agreed. But he could still be costing himself money by leaving. If Clausen, Locker and Mallet and even Pike all leave early, he could be taken a lot later than he would have expected, kind of like Brady Quinn.
Are any of those guys considered better prospects than Bradford?
All of them are considered top prospects if they come out. Pike is a reach, since he is considered a elate 1st, early 2nd.
Most people think Clausen and Locker are gonna declare eligible and Bradford would most likely stay since he got hurt. People have Locker or Clausen flipping for the first QB taken.
And most people think think that Suh or McCoy go #1.
And I totally forgot about Snead. He's a 1st round pick, too.
Really deep QB class this year.
Look out 04.
locker the first qb taken? he will not even go in the first round
but, who cares
quit drafting everyone ironmexican
He wont go in the firts round? He's slotted as a first rounder from what I've seen. He could drop like a sack of rocks though. Like Andre Woodson back in 2008.
thats my prediction, not that i give a about the draft
the dude kind of blows at qb, we've heard about him for 2 years and hes never done anything, ever
I would love if he comes back and he might it wouldent supprise me
i wouldnt, unless he really wants everyone (fair or unfair) to focus on everyone of his weak spots, and say like -has he reached his ceiling?
and ou lost a lot in 08, they lose even more after this season
Thats true. Trent Williams is gone for sure
And Demeco Murray is probably gone as well.
Of course he should play. OU hasn't even played a conference game yet. Win out and you go to a BCS bowl.
and macoy and maybe Franks man he had a great game last week
bradford could get hurt again if he does not watch out. Teams will be eyeing him. I def. dont want him to get hurt....just saying
Man I will laugh my ass off hardcore if he gets hurt again.
HARD CORE.
Not because I want the guy to get hurt, but because of the irony.
after det one
