cyclone24 1,814 Posted August 30, 2016 Bridgewater suffers non-contact knee injury Teddy Bridgewater suffered a potentially serious non-contact left knee injury in Tuesday's practice. Bridgewater went down in a heap, and his teammates immediately called for the trainer. According to the St. Paul Pioneer Press, players were cursing and throwing their helmets. They gathered around Bridgewater in prayer. The scene was described as "complete shock." The Vikings canceled practice. Obviously, it has the looks of a potentially season-ending injury, which would be a devastating blow even considering Bridgewater's game-managing ways. Journeyman veteran Shaun Hill is the next man up on the depth chart. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Drizzay 645 Posted August 30, 2016 It doesn't sound good at all. Word is that it is much worse than just an ACL. People are speculating it is an issue with a knee dislocation and vascular/nerve problems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

giraldi02 470 Posted August 30, 2016 This is sad. As has been mentioned, this seems much more severe than just an ACL. I hope this isn't something that cuts his career short however. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
We Tigers 71 Posted August 30, 2016 Hill to Diggs--the new College Park connection! I remember Shaun Hill actually putting up good numbers when he filled in for Alex Smith 5 or 6 years ago...but that was 5 or 6 years ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jgcrawfish 232 Posted August 30, 2016 This is sad. As has been mentioned, this seems much more severe than just an ACL. I hope this isn't something that cuts his career short however. Minnesota seemed to be heading the right direction. When a knee injury is bad enough to require an ambulance and they cancel practice after only 25 minutes, it's prolly pretty ugly. Steelers had an LB named Sean Spence. Gruesome knee injury and doctors told him he wouldn't walk right again due to nerve damage, let alone ever play football. Steelers ended up cutting him and he caught on with Tennessee. Reports have been good on him. Here's hoping it's an easier road for Teddy B. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skinny_Bastard 154 Posted August 30, 2016 Bump to AP lean even more on him. Bump down? Now they will put 9 in the box. This isn't the 25 year old AP. Does a 32 year old AP still got enough? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
R8RMick 242 Posted August 30, 2016 Bump to AP lean even more on him. Or stack the box against him? A worse QB means less drives sustained, less time on the field. I'm sorry is there something I'm missing on Shaun Hill lol? Just drafted AP in my main league. FML... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RaiderHaters Revenge 3,579 Posted August 30, 2016 Shawn Hill had some monster games relieving Stafford in the past, and quite frankly if I remember correctly Calvins numbers were better I hate to see Bridgewater get hurt especially if its that serious, but as a Diggs owner this is at worst a do nothing for his value, and I see it going up significantly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just drafted AP in my main league. FML... Shaun hill is better than Ponder was in 2012. They stacked the box then. Also had a worse defense than they do now. I think this just adds a chip on AP shoulder. Everyone thinks the Vikings season is over. Last time everyone didn't believe AP could do it, he shlt all over everyone.

Drizzay 645 Posted August 30, 2016 Yea, they have been putting 9 in the box vs Peterson for years. The only competent QB he has had, where they had to respect the pass, was Favre in '09. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

roroco 75 Posted August 30, 2016 From rotoworld.... NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reports Teddy Bridgewater's knee injury was "gruesome," and that his teammates were "disturbed and horrified," with some even throwing up. From a non-contact injury? What the hell actually happened? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
