The St. Louis Rams truly believe that they can be a contender this season in the NFC West. As crazy as that might come across to some people, they do. However, a lot of that success hinges on whether or not they have a healthy Sam Bradford at QB, and unfortunately for some Rams fans, that might not be the case.
According to a report from Jason La Canfora, Bradford has been heavily favoring the knee that he injured last season during the early part of camp.
You can tell Sam Bradford still moving a little gingerly at times, only natural coming off the ACL. Kenny Britt's been a surprise so far

While there might be a lot of question marks on this team, Bradford might be the biggest one of all. When they drafted him with a top pick out of Oklahoma, they knew that they were getting someone that was injury prone. In the past few seasons, they have found that out to be the case.

But of course, as the report stated, this could just be a precautionary measure so as not to put him at risk for the upcoming season, but it’s still a concern nonetheless.
How much longer can this team bank on Bradford being the QB?
