Sam Bradford is returning to Eagles voluntary workouts today, according to Connor Barwin. The quarterback who wanted to compete but didn’t want to compete with Carson Wentz is getting ready to compete after all. Looking a little deeper, Bradford’s holdout was kind of lame. He hasn’t actually missed OTAs, just the voluntary minicamp. He’s only missed 28 hours and no on-field work at all. Like the rest of Bradford’s pro career, his holdout was underwhelming despite getting plenty of hype.
