EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- Minnesota Vikings quarterback Teddy Bridgewater is on track to play this weekend in the first game at the teams new stadium.Of course, was Bridgewaters answer, with a big smile, when asked if hes expecting to take the field on Sunday for the opener at U.S. Bank Stadium.The minor shoulder injury, reported by ESPN.com as the reason Bridgewater sat out as a surprise scratch last week at Seattle, has abated enough for him to resume throwing in practice. He was eased back in Tuesday and started heaving long passes again Wednesday.I feel good. I feel very good, Bridgewater said, staying otherwise coy about his status as coach Mike Zimmer has instructed him.Zimmer said he thought Bridgewater threw the ball well in practice Wednesday. The Vikings host San Diego this weekend, and the third exhibition contest is typically when the starters play the longest in the preseason. They dont usually get much time, if any, in the fourth game. Neither Bridgewater nor the Vikings expressed any concern about the third-year player getting in enough preseason work.Honestly, when you factor in all the meetings, practices, the joint practices with Cincinnati, then the preseason games, I think Ive been able to get some good things done, Bridgewater said. Every time I go out there, whether its in the meeting room, practice field or in a game, Im taking something away from it.Offensive coordinator Norv Turner agreed. He estimated Bridgewater took about 80 snaps in the workouts against the Bengals.And he didnt get hit once. So theres great value in doing that, Turner said.Left tackle Matt Kalil and cornerback Xavier Rhodes didnt practice Wednesday, two key players unlikely to play against the Chargers. T.J. Clemmings took Kalils place with the first team, and Joe Berger was at center instead of John Sullivan. The two veterans have shared time there throughout training camp, though Bergers versatility has made Sullivan the favorite to be the starter.Brandon Fuscos return to right guard, after missing a few days of practice because of an undisclosed injury, has been going relatively smoothly. He struggled at left guard last season.I think hes been doing a good job, Zimmer said. Id still like to get him in this week and see some of the things we can do.---Online:AP NFL website: http://www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL coverage on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Wil Lutz Jersey .2 billion agreement with Rogers Communications for the leagues broadcast and multimedia rights.

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- The rehabilitation of Minnesota Vikings quarterback Teddy Bridgewaters left knee will require recovery from multiple ligament reconstruction.The team issued a statement Friday from director of sports medicine and head athletic trainer Eric Sugarman, revealing that the surgery the day before was performed in Dallas by Dr. Dan Cooper at the Carrell Clinic. The dislocation of Bridgewaters knee during practice on Aug. 30 resulted in a complete tear of his anterior cruciate ligament, accompanied by other significant damage as initially announced by the Vikings.Sugarmans statement didnt specify what that was, only that more than one of the four ligaments needed reconstruction. Beside the ACL, theres the lateral collateral ligament, the medial collateral ligament and the posterior cruciate ligament. The ACL is damaged more often, but injury to the lesser-known PCL can also be a challenge to bounce back from.Coach Mike Zimmer said he didnt know the specifics.I dont know all the fancy words. It was what they typically do on a dislocation, the coach said. I talked to him yesterday and texted him last night, so hes in good spirits.Zimmer was in relatively good spirits, too, despite losing his starting quarterback 12 days before the season opener. Zimmer again declined to reveal who will start at Tennessee on Sunday, but he said after practice on Friday that hes already decided between Sam Bradford and Shaun Hill.Thats a strong indication that Hill will start, given the 15-year veterans familiarity with the offense. The Vikings gave both quarterbacks turns with the first team this week, but Bradford hhas only had seven days and five practices with the team.dddddddddddd. The coaches have raved about Bradford being a quick study, but if they didnt trust Hill to start a game like this there was no point in having him as the backup in the first place.I guess well find out on Sunday, Zimmer said.As for Bridgewater, hes expected back in Minnesota in about a week.One of the things he said was he cant wait to get back here and be around the guys, so Im sure hell try to be around, Zimmer said, but the most important thing for him is to try to do the rehab.Sugarman, who was in Dallas to observe the surgery, said the repair was excellent and will give Bridgewater every reason to be very optimistic about his recovery.Teddy already began the rehab process yesterday, will return to Minnesota to continue on the road to recovery very soon and looks forward to getting back on the field, Sugarman said.Game notes Backup running back Jerick McKinnon returned to practice after sitting out on Thursday with a foot injury. He was listed as questionable to play the Titans along with wide receiver Charles Johnson (quadriceps), but Zimmer said McKinnon should be fine for Sunday. Backup center Nick Easton (ankle) and backup tight end MyCole Pruitt (left knee) have been ruled out. ... The Vikings also this week released safety Michael Griffin, who was initially placed on injured reserve with a back injury.---Online:AP NFL website: http://www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL [u
