Bridgwater could be back on practice field in one week...

Teddy Bridgewater's return to practice field appears nearThe injured quarterback will be eligible to come back next week, and Vikings are said to be planning that. 

The Vikings can get quarterback Teddy Bridgewater back on the practice field after next Sunday’s game against the Green Bay Packers, once he has been on the physically-unable-to-perform list for six weeks. It sounds as if Bridgewater could be on track to return soon.
 sources said the Vikings have been planning to get Bridgewater on the practice field soon after Week 6, provided his rehabilitation continues without setbacks. The quarterback’s return from a dislocated left knee and a torn ACL is said to be going well, and provided Bridgewater gets through the next week without any issues, he could practice the following week.
At that point, the Vikings would have a three-week window to decide whether to return Bridgewater to their active roster or keep him on the PUP list for the remainder of the season. That decision would likely hinge on how Bridgewater handles the three weeks of practice, recovers from the work sessions and handles any unforeseen obstacles. If all goes well, it’s conceivable he could be on the active roster by the second half of the season.

With all the questions around Sam's health, it makes perfect sense for the Vikings to fully understand what Teddy can or can't bring to the table this season. 

Last I looked, we're not out of anything yet post-season wise and longer-term the questions around the position are even more important. 

Hopefully the organization steers through this maze well, and gets a little luck along the way. It's the latter thats been missing in spades lately.

 None of the three quarterbacks is under contract for next season, though Bridgewater’s deal could possibly toll into 2018 in light of his time on the PUP list. 
The NFL’s collective bargaining agreement says a player’s contract tolls in the final year of the deal if he spends time on the PUP list, though there is some question whether a player would need to spend the entire season there for the contract to toll in actuality.

That's GREAT news.  Especially if Bradford's knee issue is a season long problem...  I'd feel much better about our chances of making some noise if we have Bradford AND Teddy ready to roll.  We have no shot if we need Keenum to play a bunch of games for us.

Sam is good, Teddy is good, Keenum is decent. The more good players we can get healthy, the better!

This is potentially great news

Looking forward to it. Bring it on.

All I want for  Christmas Halloween is a healthy Teddy on roster!

It would be great if he could get up to speed quickly if Sam's knee continues to be an issue...Not sure how you split practice reps if go the QBs are healthy...

you don't, you cant... Not without splitting the locker room. 

Its Sam's job to lose, but I don't think we're there yet unless Bradford has another set-back. For all the questions around Sam's knee's they are 2x that for Ted.

Our hope as fans is that it becomes clear by the next offseason who to go with, but this is the Vikings - so it probably wont be.
