"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Sam Bradford only played seven games in 2013, the fewest in his four\u00A0NFL seasons. (Dilip Vishwanat/Getty Images)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Every offseason, we will hear rumblings that a player coming off of a serious injury is ahead of schedule in his recovery, and that is once again the case, this time with St. Louis Rams quarterback Sam Bradford.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;While some players will say their rehab is going well despite the reality of the situation, Rams head coach Jeff Fisher truly believes that his starting quarterback is doing well just six months and one day after his season came to an end with a torn ACL that required surgery.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;MORE:\u00A02014 NFL Mock Draft\u00A0|\u00A0Top QBs\u00A0|\u00A0Top WRs\u00A0|\u00A0SI64: Our definitive Big Board&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u201CYou\u2019re not gonna hear a head coach say he has a player on his team that\u2019s not ahead of schedule coming off an ACL. Everybody says they\u2019re all ahead of schedule. But he is realistically way ahead of schedule. He\u2019s working hard,\u201D Fisher said of Bradford, via the &lt;em&gt;St. Louis Post-Dispatch&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u201CSam\u2019s in a very good place considering what happened last year.\u00A0I thought he was off to a great start. Had he stayed healthy his projected numbers could\u2019ve been quite impressive. He\u2019s worked hard through the process, and I would expect him at some point to be throwing in OTAs.\u201D&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bradford will be able to participate in a limited fashion when the team kicks off its\u00A0offseason workouts today, but if he is able to begin throwing in time for OTAs, as Fisher suggests, it will be a big win for the Rams.\nThere has been some speculation\u00A0about the Rams selecting\u00A0a quarterback in the middle rounds of the 2014 NFL Draft to add some insurance at the position, but if Bradford is able to get back to 100 percent, it would be an ideal situation for Fisher and company.&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
