Eagles coach Doug Pederson reiterated Monday that, barring injury or other unforseen development, the team will start Sam Bradford at quarterback in Week One.
Pederson also said that he can’t say at this point whether rookie Carson Wentz will remain on the inactive list as the No. 3 quarterback for the entire season. Wentz’s arrival caused some issues between Bradford and the team in the spring that have since been worked out and drafting a quarterback second overall means he’ll be the starter at some point.
Bradford said Monday that he’s not spending much time thinking about what that will mean for him.
“Not really,” Bradford said, via Philly.com. “I think at this point, I’m just trying to come out here, get better each day, try to make this team better, try to help this team win games, do my job the best I can, and then whatever happens, happens.”
It’s hard to block out thoughts about what might be coming later this year or in 2017, but Bradford’s future -- in Philadelphia or elsewhere -- will be in pretty good shape if he can turn in a healthy and productive season because healthy and productive quarterbacks are always in demand around the NFL.
