According to the Associated Press, St. Louis Rams quarterback Sam Bradford made all the throws during a short practice, making a fast recovery from a bruised index finger.
A special glove designed to increase blood flow to the injury may have helped get him back on the field quickly.
Bradford said although there was some soreness, the finger felt “10 times better” than it did on Monday, the day after the Rams’ opening 31-13 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. The original plan didn’t call for him to do any throwing before Thursday and Bradford hadn’t been that optimistic.
He’s hopeful his right hand will be 100 percent by Monday night when the Rams play at the New York Giants.
Running back Steven Jackson, who strained his right leg early in the opening loss to the Eagles, has not been counted out for Monday night’s game at the New York Giants.
