Rams' Spagnuolo names QB Bradford opening-day
It didn't take long for St. Louis Rams rookie quarterback Sam Bradford to assume the throne.
Rams coach Steve Spagnuolo on Saturday named Bradford, the No. 1 overall draft pick in April's draft, the starter for next Sunday's opener against the Arizona Cardinals at home.
Bradford moved to first string when veteran A.J. Feeley, who had been the starter through training camp, sprained the thumb on his throwing hand in a preseason game against the Cleveland Browns on Aug. 21.
Spagnuolo said he anticipated that Feeley would return to practice Monday, but he wasn't sure if the quarterback was ready to take direct snaps.
In his two starts during the preseason, Bradford was 21-of-28 passing for 257 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions.
