Ahmad Bradshaw receives medical clearance

After recovering from yet another foot surgery, Ahmad Bradshaw might be more appealing to teams now that he’s fully cleared for action.

Ahmad Bradshaw is still looking for a new team to play with in 2013, but he's at least ready to go whenever he receives a call. The 27-year-old running back recently received full medical clearance after recovering from his fifth foot surgery.

Bradshaw can now return to full football activities. He is expected to be ready for OTAs. The surgeries are piling up, but he’s still only missed six games over the last three seasons. That isn’t a terrible number for an injury-prone player.

The Green Bay Packers and Pittsburgh Steelers reportedly showed interest in Bradshaw prior to the 2013 NFL Draft, but after both teams addressed running back with their picks, he'll likely keep looking elsewhere.

In 14 games last season, Bradshaw rushed for 1,015 yards and six touchdowns. If he can stay healthy, he will be a solid contributor for the team that signs him. There’s no telling how long that will take, though.
