jbt Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Teddy Bridgewater suffered a potentially serious non-contact left knee injury in Tuesday's practice. Bridgewater went down in a heap, and his teammates immediately called for the trainer. According to the St. Paul Pioneer Press, players were cursing and throwing their helmets. They gathered around Bridgewater in prayer. The scene was described as "complete shock." The Vikings canceled practice. Obviously, it has the looks of a potentially season-ending injury, which would be a devastating blow even considering Bridgewater's game-managing ways. Journeyman veteran Shaun Hill is the next man up on the depth chart. Source: Ben Goessling on Twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleedin Green Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Ah, that sucks to hear. Regardless of the player/team, you never want that. It's bad enough when things happen on the field, but that's the unfortunate reality that you know comes with the game. For it to happen like this has to feel miserable for everyone.

Jetsfan80 Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Really rough news for a team expected to contend this year. Really solid team in all phases who now lose their leader. Sucks a lot. From a Geno trade perspective...not sure how much interest I'd expect from the Vikings IF this is indeed a season-ender for Teddy B. They already have an experienced backup (Shaun Hill) who will now start. They also have a couple decent UDFA QB's, Taylor Heinicke and Joel Stave, who could easily get a shot at # 2 duties. Heinecke was a 4-year starter at Old Dominion University, where he threw 132 career TD's, and Stave won 31 games at Wisconsin. They could very well elect to keep both around as the # 2 and 3 guys. If they really need another option in there, they can just sign someone off the scrap heap rather than move a draft pick for Geno. I'd like to see it happen of course, but I have my doubts.

Better2bgreenthanblue Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Horrible news. I remember watching him in college and wishing he were a Jet. Then all that bs came out about small hands and inability to play outdoors in the northeast...seems like he has a good head on his shoulders and is becoming a solid pro QB.

Stave is apparently listed as the # 3 currently, but who knows how much confidence they have in him. Last year Heinicke was on the roster and they carried 3 QB's, so if they do that again, they'll either have the depth chart as Hill-Stave-Heinicke OR they'll bring in a veteran and cut one of the 2 young guys, perhaps stashing one on the practice squad.
