Vikings' video shows Teddy Bridgewater throwing
Hey, Teddy's back.
The Minnesota Vikings posted a video Tuesday afternoon that showed quarterback Teddy Bridgewater making progress in his ongoing recovery from a devastating knee injury.
The 38-second clip shows Bridgewater in slow motion, taking various drops and firing footballs in his signature two gloves during organized team activities. The quarterback, who's 2016 season ended before it began because of a gruesome knee injury, was sporting a noticeable brace and sleeve on his surgically repaired knee.
While it's unclear how much work Bridgewater actually did in the Vikings' workout Tuesday, the video is a good sign for the Vikings and the QB. Bridgewater suffered a dislocated knee and a complete tear of his ACL just nine months ago, prompting coach Mike Zimmer to wonder this offseason if the quarterback would ever play again. Even the Vikings' front office was so concerned about the injurythey declined his fifth-year option earlier this month.
But the fact that he's out throwing footballs and participating in some on-field work should help make opinions in Minnesota a bit more optimistic. Perhaps there will even be more Hey Teddy songs soon.
