The former No. 1 pick sat out all of last season after tearing his ACL in a preseason game in August. Last month, Rams coach Jeff Fisher said Bradford was ahead of schedule on his rehabilitation.
Over 49 career games, the 27-year-old has completed 58.6% of his passes for more than 11,000 yards with 59 touchdowns and 38 interceptions. In 2012, his last full season, Bradford threw for 3,702 yards, 21 touchdowns and 13 interceptions.
