Bradford was hit high by one Browns defender and low by another, as he fell to the turf grabbing his injured knee.
Initial test results showed no damage to Bradford’s ACL and Rams head coach Jeff Fisher was optimistic that Bradford would be able to make a quick return to the field.
Unfortunately, follow up tests on Sunday are giving the Rams some reason for concern that Bradford has seriously re-injured his ACL in his left knee.
According to ESPN’s Sam Bradford, there is a real concern that Bradford has torn his ACL.
