Quarterback Sam Bradford ran the Philadelphia Eagles’ offense Tuesday in his continued recovery from ACL surgery and corresponding assimilation to the starting job with his new team.

Bradford, acquired in a trade for Nick Foles from the St. Louis Rams, is recovering from a second surgery in as many years to repair a torn knee ligament. Wearing a sleeve on his left knee, Bradford rotated with holdover Mark Sanchez in 7-on-7 passing drills Tuesday.

“I think he’s right on schedule in terms of where he is,” coach Chip Kelly said last week of Bradford’s health.

Sanchez said he was promised a chance to compete for the No. 1 job when he opted to return to the Eagles, signing a two-year deal as an unrestricted free agent in March.

Tim Tebow, who signed last month, and Matt Barkley, who held the No. 3 job to begin the 2014 season, are competing for that spot in Organized Team Activities (OTA).
