Mike Zimmer: Teddy Bridgewater has ‘significant’ knee injury
Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer provided an update on the injury status of quarterback Teddy Bridgewater Tuesday afternoon during a news conference and acknowledged the QB’s injury could be season-ending.
Zimmer said he did not know the extent of Bridgewater’s injury, but he called it a “significant” knee injury. The Vikings head coach said he did not see the play as it happened in practice, but that he reviewed it on video.
“It was a non-contact thing. It was a freaky deal,” said Zimmer. “It doesn’t look good right now.”
Zimmer also explained his decision to call off practice for the rest of the day. He called it a “disappointing day.” Zimmer also complimented Bridgewater by saying, “Teddy is a great kid. Everybody loves him. Today they were disappointed.”
Bridgewater is undergoing an MRI.
