Mark

Bradley

Bradley had some soreness in his knee last week, but appears ready for a full workload.

''Mark Bradley is going to be a star in this league,’' Rex Grossman said. ''He’s got an explosive ability after he catches the ball that not a lot of people have. He just has a feel for the game.’' And now he just needs Grossman to get him the ball.

He was playing against third-stringers. The Bears say Bradley will have a limited role as the team’s fourth receiver, at best.

The rookie wasn’t expected to challenge for serious playing time this preseason. But the second-round pick leads the NFL in receiving yards in the preseason by 74 yards, albeit with an extra game played.

Bernard Berrian’s recent pulled groin gave Bradley the job for now, but the two will continue to compete. Bradley fumbled during the game.

Considering he suffered the injury after Javon Walker and Deuce McAllister, it’s pretty remarkable Bradley is playing again. We’ll keep an eye on him in training camp and inch him up our draft boards if he’s reported to have his speed back.

The former second-rounder finally put together a solid preseason outing. Bernard Berrian finished with 31 yards on four receptions.

Bradley had ACL surgery last year and was thought to be close to 100% in early camp. He’s struggled in the preseason, so this may be why.

Bradley fumbled in last week’s exhibition game, so he’s not doing himself any preseason favors. He may be as low as No. 4 on the depth chart.

Bradley (hip) should obviously be removed from lineups; he’s not a starter anyways. Orton is the third quarterback. Runnels (ankle) is hurt.
