DALLAS -- Sam Bradford is hurt again.Six weeks after he injured his shoulder against BYU, Bradford is on the sideline of another big game in the Dallas area after the Heisman-winning quarterback went down early in the first quarter of Saturday's Red River Rivalry game against Texas.
Cornerback Aaron Williams came untouched at Bradford and drove his right (throwing) shoulder into the turf again, a near repeat of the way Bradford injured his shoulder against BYU at Cowboys Stadium.
Bradford completed 2-of-6 passes for 77 yards before he was injured. Backup Landry Jones, who started during Bradford's three-game absence from the previous injury, took over.
According to ABC's Lisa Salters, Bradford underwent x-rays at halftime.
While the immediate and distant future of Bradford is uncertain, Jones has at least done a decent job of steadying the ship in the first half. He has guided the Sooners on one field goal drive as OU clings to a 6-3 lead at halftime.
Jones has completed 12-of-23 passes for 130 yards. His only fault so far is not being able to punch it into the end zone during the first two quarters.
Bradford, meanwhile, remained on the sidelines throughout the first half but was ruled out for the remainder of Saturday's game. Certainly the questions will center around Bradford's return, and whether or not he should return at all. Obviously, the 2008 Heisman Trophy winner came back too soon from the AC joint shoulder injury that forced him to miss three games earlier in the year. The hit by Williams was the first true test of how ready the shoulder was.
