Teddy Bridgewater is eligible to be removed from the physically unable to perform list this week and return to practice, and the Minnesota Vikings quarterback appears to have hinted that he is right on schedule.
On Monday morning, Bridgewater sent a tweet that likely coincided with him being cleared by doctors.
Thank you.

Bridgewater missed the entire 2016 season after suffering a horrific knee injury during training camp. There have been numerous reports that he will be ready to return for the first game in which he is eligible to play, and that would be Sunday’s game against the Baltimore Ravens.
At first, it looked like the Vikings might have to make a choice between Bridgewater and Sam Bradford, who played lights-out in Week 1 but has missed several games with a knee injury. Given the latest report we heard about Bradford’s knee, there’s a good possibility Bridgewater could be ready to play before he is.
UPDATE: A report indicates Bridgewater has, in fact, been cleared to return to practice by the doctor who performed surgery on his knee.
