NORMAN, Okla. (AP)—Oklahoma’s Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Sam Bradford had surgery on his injured right shoulder Wednesday and the school called it a success.

In a release sent out by the school, Bradford’s father says Dr. James Andrews informed him that the procedure went “just as we expected.”

Kent Bradford said his son was experiencing some soreness, but was otherwise resting comfortably in Alabama after a 35-minute surgery. The quarterback, who had sprained the AC joint in his shoulder, was expected to return to Oklahoma within the next day or two.

Bradford has said he plans to enter the NFL draft if his recovery goes as planned. That process is expected to take four to six months.

    Hey little Stevie F,
    Even Yahoo, has to write stories about players that people are interested in reading. With that said, there must not be a player interesting enough on your favorite team to warrant a story. If you want to read about your teams QB, maybe you should consider upgrading to another team, like the OKLAHOMA SOONERS?

    Let's hope he heals quickly and completely so can return fully, to form. Hate to see his talent affected at so early an age.

    For great commentary on college football, I go to suddendeathblog.com Entertaining story on ND's Jimmy Clausen. And common sense outlook on the quality of SEC officiating -- especially true given the league's sanctions against the complaing coaches....

    Hey Jesse P, It sounds to me like Bradford must have spanked or at least embarrased your team sometime in the last couple of years? Most likely spanked. Don't ya just hate (fear) that about him?

    GDH, That was funny. Imagine, if there was no football? What would the 'giants' do for a release?
    Marine Corp. Hey, why doesn't the Marine Corp start their own academy (not Annapolis)? I bet they'd get some awesome players.

    1101. Posted by Les - There are two ways of looking at that - Sure he might get a big contract but on the other hand - will any NFL teams be willing to take a chance on him since he has already had shoulder surgery? If so, that might cut into the money part of his contract. I think he should have stayed in College another year (if elegible) to make sure his shoulder is 100% His stock would only go up!

    Yes, OU does recruit Texas players. There are over 1000 high schools in Texas. There are 200 in Oklahoma. Fact.

    Also, the combined number of Texas kids, atheletic and non atheletic makes up almost 25% of the Oklahoma University student body. Fact

    The good news is that Oklahoma can only recruit the Texas players that are not on probation. This is because their probation officer will not let them leave the state. The bad news is that is why they stay in Texas. Not a fact but, come on now, that was funny.

    Boome Sooner.
