The highlighted portion is pretty good news to me. I thought Bradford's injury was on par with RGIII's but it's much less significant and he got his surgery done two months earlier than RGIII. I thought it was going to be a close call and probably to be safe, Bradford would have to miss some preseason. This news makes it seem that training camp wouldn't be out of the question. Color me geeked.Bradford confident he'll be ready for training camp

It was a big relief for Bradford to learn there was no other damage to the knee. Other than the torn ACL, the knee was clean. That’s in contrast to Washington QB Robert Griffin III, who suffered tears to both his ACL and his lateral collateral ligament (LCL). The LCL tear complicated Griffin’s surgery, as did the fact that he had undergone previous surgery to repair the same ACL while in college at Baylor.
Also keep in mind that RGIII’s surgery a year ago took place nearly two months later than Bradford’s in the NFL cycle — on Jan. 9, 2013. So those trying to compare the two surgeries are talking apples and oranges.
