Sam Bradford: Injures shoulder and suffers concussion

Sanchez came in when Sam Bradford injured his left shoulder and suffered a concussion in the second half of a 20-19 loss to the Dolphins. The Dolphins were down 16-3 in the first quarter, then held the Eagles to those 16 points until a field goal in the fourth quarter.

-PASS DEFENSE: B. The Eagles got consistent pressure on Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill, sacking him four times and registering a safety. Going through it, (defensive line coach) Terrell Williams told me that if you look at it, every one out of three plays that Suh had was a productive play.

Tannehill dropped to pass in the end zone and was blindsided by blitzing safety Walter Thurmond and fumbled out of the end zone for a safety, giving the Eagles led 9-6 with 8:38 left in the opening period. The ball was in slow motion coming down.

“I’m just being consistent to who I am”, Suh said after the game Sunday.

Suh has only three sacks and two of those came in one game.

“He stepped up”, interim coach Dan Campbell said. “He did so much for us”.

Again Sunday, there were half-a-dozen situations in which, if Bradford or Mark Sanchez had been throwing to Jeremy Maclin instead of Miles Austin, it might have made a difference.

“We have to go and set the tone early”, Campbell said. “It hurt us and we’ll work around it, get with him in film and figure out what’s going on”. The Eagles had a 16-13 lead when Bradford got injured but ultimately lost the game by blowing several opportunities and suffering from costly turnovers. Receiver Rishard Matthews had five catches for 93 yards, trailing only Philly’s Brent Celek (134) as the game’s leader. From the 4, a Tannehill pass was deflected and sailed high in the air before Landry gathered it in.

Maybe Chip Kelly should have called two runs and ordered up a chip-shot field goal to put the Eagles ahead (although I’ll grant that Caleb Sturgis makes nothing a sure bet). The Dolphins allowed 266 rushing yards the week before against the Buffalo Bills. I just hope it’s weak enough.

“[The medical staff] didn’t say anything about [the shoulder]”, Kelly said. During the play Sanchez was rolling to his left and saw Austin sprinting just beyond the goal line.

It’s the first time since the 1970 National Football League merger that a team had only two games scheduled in its stadium in the first 10 weeks of the season, according to STATS. “And they just didn’t pan out so that’s too bad”, Sanchez said.

Over the past four games alone, Suh has four sacks, seven tackles for loss and nine quarterback hits.

Among Miami’s other cornerbacks, Jamar Taylor logged 79 snaps, Brice McCain 43 before his injury, rookie Tony Lippett 22 and Zack Bowman 21. So as of this morning we felt like – we gave him a few IVs, some fluids – we felt like he was going to play. We need to expect that the coaching staff will do their diligence to make sure Bryant doesn’t have a huge game.

“I missed the first eight games, so I feel very fresh, and it feels good”. It was hard to watch the game however, we won and I’m happy about that. “I think we were able to showcase that a little bit”. Keep in mind the Eagles play in Detroit on Thanksgiving, which is a short week and gives Bradford less time to recover.
