OT-Teddy Bridgewater Injured

[TJ]

Shaun Hill is one of the better, more competent backups in the NFL. He is a veteran and knows his limitations and how to manage a game a la Alex Smith. This is a team that is built to have a game manager (elite RB, great defense). I still think Minny is a playoff team.

Sux for that kid & the Vikes! But it's the cold reality of football

If they could get a mid round pick for Stanton...i would do that in a heartbeat.

I think Minnesota goes hard after Mark Sanchez now.

Mike Zimmer said Teddy Bridgewater is sedated and he is going through an MRI now.

It's now official, an MRI has confirmed that #Vikings QB Teddy Bridgewater has a torn ACL and will miss the entire 2016 season.

Vikings' backup QB Shaun Hill never had started more than 10 games in any season and he never has reached the postseason.

I think this tweet was meant as a joke but it's in terrible taste (directed to the the guy, not sunsfan)

He's still getting tests to see extent of damage

Feel terrible for Bridgewater, seems like a decent dude.

With that being said, didn't we have a field day the last time our D played against Hill and the Rams?

Brutal. Still hope the MRI results come out as nothing that will cause him to miss the full season and maybe just a few weeks if that.

Sedated? Air Cast? Ambulance? These are not things for torn ligaments. Ugh.

 

[eastcoastSUN]

Jesus did anyone see this..?

Given @teddyb_h2o non contact, reaction, practice ended, paramedic, MRI, sedation: Best case is patella dislocation Worst is dislocated knee

that's what I'm thinking too, but Zimmer said it was a significant knee injury, so maybe he snapped all the ligaments?

Jesus!

Basically a non-contact version of this:

 

[Jetstream Green]

You're not very good at this football discussion thing.

Stanton to Vikings for a 6th, flip that 6th to Chargers for Bercovici.

Boom, everybody wins.

Sounds fine... maybe if the Cardinals, Vikings and Chargers played in the MLB lol

 

[Cards_Campos]

I've seen a non-contact injury that had all of the following: torn MCL, ACL, LCL, and dislocated kneecap. We are also assuming it is a knee, but it could be a quad that snapped and rolled up his leg. I've seen that in a non-contact situation too and the guy was "grasping his knee" like Bridgewater was reported to be doing. Lots of options in that part of the body.

That coukd be his Patellar Tendon....i blew that 11 years ago..its scary but doesnt hurt....so maybe bone displacement too...like it ripped part of his femur or something. That could cause the major pain and trauma.
