Lastly, newly acquired quarterback Sam Bradford will be wearing No. Bradford wore No. Louis but that number currently belongs to Eagles punter Donnie Jones.
And no one can merely taken Donnie Jones' number away from him. The last Eagles player to wear No. It actually wasn't Michael Vick , though he's the last quarterback to wear it.
Eagles kicker Cody Parkey wore the No. Before Vick, it was Jeff Garcia in Coach Steve Wilks declined to commit to Bradford as the starting quarterback for Week 3 against Chicago, Kyle Odegard of the Cardinals ' official site reports. Wilks didn't actually say anything specific when asked about the quarterback situation, sticking with the typical coach's statement of "everybody will be evaluated.
With Josh Rosen waiting in the wings and Arizona's season seemingly going nowhere, Bradford will be on a short leash even if he does keep the starting job for another week. Bradford completed 20 of 34 pass attempts for yards with no touchdowns and an interception in Sunday's loss to Washington. Bradford passed for just 11 yards in the first half, while leading the offense to a measly two first downs.
It didn't get much better in the second half, as the Cardinals did not score until late in the fourth quarter on a David Johnson touchdown run. On the bright side, Bradford showed a strong connection with Larry Fitzgerald, as the duo hooked up seven times for 76 yards. The veteran quarterback probably won't find things easier Week 2 with the Rams on the schedule. Bradford was limited to two appearances with the Vikings last season due to complications with his left knee, which eventually underwent a cleanup procedure on Nov.
Despite being activated from IR in the playoffs, he backed up Case Keenum during Minnesota's two-game run. Upon joining the Cardinals , Bradford's activity level was monitored throughout the offseason with his oft-injured knee in mind. After a preseason in which he completed eight of 11 passes for 73 yards, Bradford is poised to act as a game manager in a David Johnson-dominated offensive scheme. Bradford played the first two drives in Sunday's preseason win over the Cowboys, completing one of four passes for six yards.
Bradford saw limited action while top skill-position players David Johnson and Larry Fitzgerald sat out entirely. Mike Glennon and rookie Josh Rosen thumb don't appear to be serious threats to Bradford's starting job heading into the Sept.
Bradford completed each of his six pass attempts for 61 yards in Friday's preseason game against the Saints. After leading a run-heavy touchdown drive on his only series in the preseason opener, Bradford got a bit more playing time Friday, producing seven points on three drives.
Josh Rosen also got some work with the first-team offense, completing 10 of 16 passes for yards and a touchdown, all in the second quarter. There may not be any competition for the Week 1 starting job, but the calls for Rosen will heat up if the Cardinals don't stay in the playoff hunt.
