Sam Bradford missed practice again on Friday, and he has been ruled out of this week's game when the
Philadelphia Eagles host the
Tampa Bay Buccaneers.Which means it's
Mark Sanchez time in Philadelphia.
The Eagles are 4-5 and teetering on the edge of losing their season — though, the NFC East is so bad that it seems nobody will truly be eliminated until late December. Bradford reportedly suffered a separated left non-throwing shoulder and a concussion last week.
According to Reuben Frank of CSN Philly, due to the concussion Bradford hadn't even been cleared for cardio or lifting as of Thursday, which means that even next week's game shouldn't be considered a sure thing for his return. The Eagles will also be without running back
Ryan Mathews, who has been ruled out with a concussion.
For most of last Sunday's loss to the
Miami Dolphins, Sanchez looked fine. He just had one big mistake. Which is the story of Sanchez's career, really.
Sanchez threw a crucial interception into the end zone with the Eagles threatening to score in the fourth quarter. They ended up losing 20-19. Sanchez has been plagued by turnovers his entire career. Last season he looked good at times. He threw for 2,418 yards in nine games. He also threw 11 interceptions in those nine games, some of which came at the worst time possible. Like last week's turnover against the Dolphins.
Without Bradford, the Eagles will be rolling with Sanchez to avoid going 4-6 to start this season. If nothing else, it'll be an interesting ride.
