The St. Louis Rams confirmed that starting QB Sam Bradford left Saturday’s preseason game with a left knee injury, per Mike Garafolo.
The team announced that Bradford was out for the remainder of the game and didn’t offer any details regarding the severity of his injury.
Bradford, 26, suffered a torn ACL in his left knee last year and was limited to appearing in just seven games. He still has two years remaining on his rookie contract, but this was largely considered to be a make-or-break season for the former No. 1 overall pick.
