Football world prays for Teddy Bridgewater after injury
Minnesota Vikings players and people across the football world offered their thoughts and prayers to Teddy Bridgewater on Tuesday afternoon, hours after the quarterback sustained a torn ACL.
Bridgewater's injury came during Tuesday's practice and caused coach Mike Zimmer to immediately end practice. An ambulance rushed to the scene to take the quarterback to the hospital.
Here is a sampling of what Vikings and other NFL players were saying on Twitter in support of Bridgewater:
That one hurt. Just because I know how hard he works and how bad he wants to be great. Prayers up for my brother @teddyb_h2o I love you man
