Vikings reportedly talking about putting Sam Bradford on IR
One quarterback is returning for the Minnesota Vikings, while another could be going.
ESPN’s Chris Mortensen reports that the Vikings are discussing whether to put Sam Bradford in IR now that they are getting Teddy Bridgewater back.
Teddy Bridgewater will be activated to @Vikings 53-man roster and team is discussing whether Sam Bradford goes to IR, per team sources.

Bridgewater has not played since suffering a devastating knee injury during training camp last year and has missed a season and a half of action. Bradford injured his knee in Week 1 and then returned against the Bears and re-injured it. He has not played since then and is said to be experiencing pain.
Amazingly, on a team with Bridgewater and Bradford, it’s Case Keenum who’s the starter.
,Case Keenum remains the starter this week but team does believe Bridgewater will be ready to start relatively soon, if necessary.

Keenum has helped the team win four in a row. Minnesota is 6-2 on the season despite their quarterback drama.
