Oklahoma quarterback Sam Bradford spoke to reporters for the first time since Sept. 7 on Tuesday and left no doubt he plans to play again this season.
"I don't know if I can give you a definite answer. But right now, I do feel like yes, I will be back at some point," he said.
When that will be is the unanswered question.
Bradford returned to practice last week, but said his arm strength wasn't good enough to play in last Saturday's loss to Miami. The Sooners face Baylor at 2:30 p.m. Saturday at Owen Field. Bradford practiced Monday and said his arm feels better than the week before. But he still doesn't know if he'll be ready by Saturday.
"That's part of the whole process, being able to make all the throws. All the throws don't happen in the pocket. They happen outside the pocket, off balance, you know, where there's more stress put on your arm. I think as the week goes along, I'm gonna have to figure out what throws I can and can't make."
Bradford and OU coach Bob Stoops both said a decision on Bradford's availability will likely be made after Thursday.
