In addition to a concussion, Eagles QB Sam Bradford also suffered a separated shoulder in Sunday’s loss to Miami, according to ESPN.

Neither the Timberwolves nor the Magic have been any good in the last few years, and while they aren’t quite there yet, both are candidates to nab a low playoff seed this season.
