Report: Teddy Bridgewater likely to miss 2017 season

Bridgewater, a central piece of Minnesota’s offense and building process, was injured in practice in August prior to the 2016 season, tearing his ACL and dislocating his knee while planting to throw a pass. Doctors reportedly told the team he will need at least 19 months, which would mean he misses the entire season again.

The 24-year-old former first-rounder threw for 14 touchdowns and 3,231 yards in 2015, leading Minnesota to the playoffs where they fell 10–9 to the Seahawks.

Sans Bridgewater, the Vikings acquired Sam Bradford via trade, who threw for 3,877 yards, 20 touchdowns and five interceptions as the Vikings went 8–8.

They say this every time someone tears an ACL. Then they come back in a miraculous recovery time

I hate to say it, but his career is likely over

Not surprised. Once I knew exactly what the injury was, when it happened, I told everyone he would be lucky to play football again. This was a non-conctact injury that happened when he dropped back in the pocket during practice.

Its a crying out shame. He showed some real glimpses.

Sadly, Robert Edwards of the the Patriots is probably the most similar injury. He never was the same, but he did play again- not effectively though

If they want to make the playoffs they better get someone better than Sam Bradford.
