Cardinals
During his introductory press conference on Friday, new Cardinals QB Sam Bradford said that his knee is feeling “good.”
“It’s continued to get better,” Bradford said. “Obviously, throughout this offseason and moving forward, it’ll kind of still be a process and there’ll be some things to continue to work on, continue to get better but as of right now, it feels good.”
Vikings HC Mike Zimmer referred to Bradford’s knee “degenerative” at the Combine.
“I mean, look, obviously there’s some wear and tear on my knee,” Bradford said of Zimmer’s comments. “I’ve been through a lot with it. All I can tell you is how I feel right now and really kind of where it’s gone since I had the procedure since November, and it’s done nothing but get better.
“And I feel good at the moment. That’s really all I can tell you about it right now.”
