Report: Sam Bradford has separated left shoulder, still wants to play against Bucs on Sunday

Philadelphia Eagles starting quarterback Sam Bradford left the team's 20-19 loss to the Miami Dolphins with a concussion and an injury to his non-throwing shoulder. 

According to Ed Werder of ESPN, an MRI confirmed on Wednesday that Bradford has a separated left shoulder. 

Dolphins linebacker Chris McCain sacked Bradford in the third quarter, driving the quarterback's head and shoulder into the ground.

Bradford has yet to be cleared through the NFL's concussion protocol, and he hasn't practiced yet this week.

Backup Mark Sanchez, who replaced Bradford in the game against Miami, is expected to make his first start of the season against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday afternoon at Lincoln Financial Field.
