The team announced that Bridgewater also dislocated his left knee and sustained other structural damage, though he has no nerve or arterial damage.
The Minnesota Vikings lost their starting quarterback Terry Bridgewater after an injury during a team practice.
“When a knee gets dislocated, the blood supply gets interrupted and, slowly but surely, there’s risk of losing the leg”, Tehrany said.
This came hours after Spielman and Vikings athletic trainer Eric Sugarman sat in on a presentation that was given to Bridgewater’s representatives and family outlining the options for the third-year quarterback.
Sorensen, who had been released by the Vikings on Monday, is back on the roster ahead of the team’s final preseason game on Thursday night against the Los Angeles Rams. Treadwell has reportedly been practicing with the second team, which means he’s familiar with backup Shaun Hill, but with Bridgewater out of the picture, the offensive scheme could certainly change, which could mean less targets down field for Treadwell.
Bridgewater isn’t the most prolific quarterback in the league, throwing just 28 TD passes in his first two seasons combined, but he is considered a steady hand who doesn’t make mistakes and is highly respected by teammates. “Everybody loves him, so they were disappointed and I didn’t think we were going to get much out of practice today, so we’ll get back in here tomorrow and we’ll get back to work”. Your thoughts and prayers mean a lot to me and have helped me in this hard time. He said Kaepernick remains one of his two best quarterbacks. Many of us are also Vikings fans and the news that Teddy Bridgewater’s knee was almost destroyed was about the worst thing imaginable for the 2016 Vikings.

Bridgewater said he will be “there mentally, physically and in spirit to support” the Vikings as they look to “reach the goals we set for 2016”. “My objective will not be denied”. And based on the 911 emergency call (listen here), the Vikings knew it was bad when hit happened. While Zimmer isn’t expected to provide reporters with any definitive answers, we can only hope for the best at this moment.
