PHILADELPHIA — Chip Kelly said quarterback Sam Bradford won't play in the Eagles' preseason opener Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts.

Kelly said it's not because Bradford is hurting. Rather, Kelly said it was his decision to hold Bradford out. Bradford has taken part in all of the team drills since training camp started Aug. 2. But Bradford, coming off two ACL surgeries, was limited in the spring OTAs, and Kelly wanted to wait another week before playing him.

"That's my decision," Kelly said. "He really wants to play. I don't think he's real happy with my decision. I just felt he's been out here for 2 weeks, he's done a really nice job. He'll get his first work against the Ravens when we get a chance to train with them. He'll play in the Ravens game."

Kelly said Mark Sanchez will start and play a few series, and Matt Barkley and Tim Tebow will see the majority of the action.
