Heisman Trophy winner Sam Bradford sprained his throwing shoulder after he was slammed to the turf by a BYU player in the first half of Oklahoma's game against theCougars.
Bradford was on sideline with his right arm in sling and ice
taped to his shoulder as the second half began Saturday night.,
Playing behind a line featuring four new starters, Bradford went
down hard on a clean hit by Brigham Young linebacker Coleby Clawson
in the closing seconds of the first half. Both players landed flush
on Bradford's right side and he immediately began writhing in pain.
The Sooners kicked a field goal on the next play to take a 10-7
halftime lead.
The injury was announced as a sprained AC joint. It is not yet known how long he will be sidelined.
The AC joint is short for the acromioclavicular joint. Separation of the two bones forming this joint is caused by damage to the ligaments connecting them. It is sometimes also referred to as a shoulder separation injury.
The acromioclavicular joint is formed by the outer end of the clavicle (collar bone) and the acromion process of the scapular (shoulder blade).
