The Rams likely will hold out quarterback Sam Bradford from Friday's preseason opener against the Saints, reports ESPN.com. Bradford has shown "no signs of trouble" with his surgically repaired knee, but the team is playing it safe.
"He's done everything we needed to see right now at practice," coach Jeff Fisher said. "So he's going to play in the preseason; unlikely that he's going to play this week. ... It's not because he can't; it's because it's our choice."
