    The Bridge has Fallen

    Teddy just went down in practice. Sounds SERIOUS. Stopped practice, ambulance and the whole nine yards.

    That sucks, Bridgewater was just starting to be a player. When I first saw the headline, I thought of that I-35 bridge collapse in ..... Siri says 2007.

    Ras, that news sucks for you. Sorry. You know I think Bridgewater's the real thing.

    I'm confused at what this could be? Non-contact injury that requires an ambulance, the usual ones, ACLs and MCLs can be painful, but don't generally require paramedics. Where are they practicing, is it on turf? Could he have gotten a cleat caught in the carpet and broke his leg?

    I never delight at hearing that someone/anyone has suffered an injury. Athletes accept that they may be injured and continue to pursue their dreams. Whenever a key player goes down, it diminishes not only their team, but the entire league .

    As we await the official report on Teddy Bridgewater, let us not forget that the same thing can happen to any player , on Any team. May luck continue to smile upon GB this season and get well soon Teddy Bridgewater .

    If your not the lead dog , then the view never changes !

    Zimmer giving good press conference. I can see why players like him.

    After lunch the players lounged about the hotel patio watching the surf fling white plumes high against the darkening sky. Clouds were piling up in the west… Vince Lombardi frowned.

    Cake schedule. Now the only real threat in the division has lost their starting QB.

    No pressure here Pack, but don't fuck this up!!

    Why? Kapp won't be able to learn their O in 10 days. Gets rid of any real passing threat. Zimmer aND Co are not going to put in the read option.
    But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

    It sounds a whole lot worse than that.

    Yea, not top tier but was really coming along. As always, the football gods bend me over. This year earlier than most.

    At least they have a good running game and a defense.

    Until he dies, I guess that's always an option!

    I was just googling Vikings 53 to see the likely depth chart at QB, and up first was this prediction that a guy posted yesterday:

    QB (2):

    In: Teddy Bridgewater, Shaun Hill

    Cut: Joel Stave

    Reasoning: I think the Vikes will only go with two until Taylor Heinicke is healthy, then add him to the active roster. But I give a tip of the cap to Joel Stave, who played much better than I had anticipated, well enough to land on a practice squad somewhere. But with Teddy entrenched and the Vikings fond of Heinicke, I don't think that somewhere will be in Minnesota. they could temporarily go with three, but I think they roll the dice and hope Teddy doesn't get hurt. I mean, if he does, everything sucks and the world ends anyways, and at that point I won't care if the Vikes have two or 20 QB's on the roster, because the one that matters won't be able to play and everything will be horrible.

    "The injury was quickly identified as a dislocated knee. The injury was stabilized, and he was transported to a nearby hospital for treatment and evaluation. After undergoing an MRI, it was determined that *Teddy suffered a complete tear to his ACL and other structural damage.* Fortunately, there appears to be *no nerve or arterial damage.* Surgical repair will be scheduled within the next few days. Although the recovery time will be significant, we expect Teddy to make a full recovery. I would like to thank all of the medical professionals and our athletic training staff for all of their help today. Teddy has already displayed the attitude needed to overcome this injury and attack his rehab."
