Bridgewater: 'Of course' I expect to play Sunday for Vikes
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) Minnesota Vikings quarterback Teddy Bridgewater says he'll play this weekend in the first game at the team's new stadium.
Bridgewater was coy after practice Wednesday about his shoulder injury, but he said ''of course'' when asked if he's expecting to take the field Sunday for the opener at U.S. Bank Stadium. The Vikings host San Diego, and the third exhibition contest is typically when the starters play the longest in the preseason.
Last week at Seattle, Bridgewater was a surprise scratch from the lineup. Coach Mike Zimmer has refused to discuss his condition.
Offensive coordinator Norv Turner said Wednesday he didn't see any limitations with Bridgewater the day before.
