Bridgewater is Cleared to Practice

SKOL.

KICK SOME ASS TEDDY

The more the merrier at this position now. Regardless of when/if Teddy plays at some point this season, its going to be a lift for the team to see him practicing.

YUGE. 

TeDEE! TeDEE! TeDEE!

NICE!

One door closes, another door opens...

Omg! This makes me happy. I will always root for him because he is so damn likable.

Welcome back Two-Gloves, hope you're ready to play soon.

Great news.  Not ready to play of course, but a step in the right direction.

I agree.  I wouldn't expect game action until week 10 at least.  Teddy hasn't practiced for 14 months but it sure is nice to see his progress.

I’m interested to know what game, etc you think Bridgewater will be on the field as our QB. I am going with:

second half St Louis game. I think a win by Case in Washington will be tough and with that Rams D i dont think Zim can afford two losses in a row before a 3 game road trip. Teddy comes in after halftime to lead us to a victory.  Taking over the starting spot at QB

Courtney Cronin ESPN Staff Writer Bridgewater has been present in team meetings throughout the last 14 months. Zimmer said he is caught up on the playbook and receives the game script every week to run by himself. "He'll be ready," Zimmer said. "Teddy's smart."

Teddy is not going to get much work the week we travel to London will he?

Good for Teddy...Hell, he's beaten the odds whether he ever takes a live snap from center again or not. 

Zimmer said the Vikings will ease Bridgewater back into the practice routine.
“He hasn’t practiced in 14 months,” Zimmer said, “so we’re not going to dose him out on Wednesday.”

Just getting this far he's beaten the odds.  Now as much as I love the guy, hopefully Case or even Bradford play so well that we don't need to see him in a game this year.

The earliest, and I mean absolute earliest, would be after the bye week. It'll depend how Keenum does with 2 winnable games against Baltimore and Cleveland upcoming. If the Vikings are 6-2 heading into the bye, they may ride him for the remainder of the year unless Bradford somehow mysteriously recovers.

I agree on the after the bye part,  however I don't think just the teams record should be considered at that point.  I think the QB play itself as well as the level of play seen from Sam or Teddy in practice should be the determining factor.

So what roster move do they make when the time comes to activate Bridgewater?
You can't move Sloter to the practice squad without risking losing him.  Hard to believe they'd make that move given how highly they regarded him.
You have to keep Keenum.  He probably will still be starting then.
Maybe move Bradford to IR?  But that depends on how he is doing and he could very well be fine by then.
There's no way they keep 4 QBs
