Rams coach Steve Spagnuolo has maintained throughout the offseason that veteran A.J. Feeley -- not first overall pick Sam Bradford -- is his starting quarterback. But Spagnuolo plans to see both quarterbacks in action with the first-string offense on Saturday.
Spagnuolo said Bradford will “get some work with the ones, and then we’ll see where we’re at” in Saturday’s preseason game against the Vikings.
When Spagnuolo does see where they’re at, he’s no doubt hoping he’ll see that his No. 1 overall pick looks poised in his first live action against an NFL defense. If Bradford plays well, it’s highly likely that he’ll leapfrog Feeley on the depth chart at some point in the next month and start the regular season opener.
For now, though, Spagnuolo says he just wants to see both quarterbacks get some reps with the first offense in the first half.
“I’m not sure how long into that first half he’ll go,” Spagnuolo said. “We’ll just kind of play it by ear.”
