Vikings place Bridgewater on PUP list

Jul 27, 2017 - 4:25 AM Minnesota Vikings quarterback Teddy Bridgewater was placed on the physically unable to perform list, the team announced Wednesday.

The move was expected for Bridgewater, who is working his way back from tearing his ACL and dislocating his left knee during a late August practice last year.

Bridgewater was among the veterans arriving to camp Wednesday before the team's first practice the following day. The 24-year-old is expected to address the media on Thursday.

Bridgewater, the Vikings' 2014 first-round pick, missed the 2016 season as result of the injury. He was a Pro Bowl selection in 2015, when he passed for 3,231 yards and 14 touchdowns against nine interceptions.

After his injury, Minnesota acquired Sam Bradford from the Philadelphia Eagles. In 2016, Bradford established an NFL single-season record for completion percentage (71.6) while passing for 3,877 yards and 20 touchdowns against just five interceptions.
