Minnesota Vikings QB Teddy Bridgewater (knee) still has no timetable for his return, according to general manager Rick Spielman. Spielman added that it would be ‘unfair’ to give Bridgewater an ultimatum after suffering multiple serious injuries. Bridgewater is recovering from a torn anterior cruciate ligament and a dislocated knee.

Footballguys View: The Vikings pretty much signaled this a while back when they talked about Sam Bradford ‘earning’ starting job. We still love Bridgewater, but this injury is a huge setback to his development and could have a long-term impact for his ability to be a starter in the NFL.
