Jim Thomas of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports At the NFL scouting combine one month ago, Rams general manager Billy Devaney said the team planned to have an independent third party β a “neutral” doctor, if you will β check out quarterback Sam Bradford’s surgically repaired throwing shoulder.
Those plans have been scratched.
“At that point, (the shoulder) was such a big question mark,” Devaney said Wednesday. “Since then, we’ve talked to so many people that have looked at him from other teams. And our doctors β they’ve gone over him with a fine-tooth comb β we’re completely satisfied. We don’t need a follow-up.”
Devaney said he and coach Steve Spagnuolo have done some checking on their own over the last several weeks to get medical opinions from other voices. Devaney didn’t specify which teams, but Devaney and Spagnuolo have worked with several other teams over the years, and as Devaney put it: “You have friends around the league.”
Bradford underwent a reconstruction of the AC joint surrounding his shoulder in late October, with the procedure performed by noted orthopedic surgeon James Andrews.
