Minnesota Vikings quarterback Teddy Bridgewater may have a chance to play at some point during the 2017 season, but it is not going to come in the first six games.
According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Media, the Vikings are expected to keep Bridgewater on the physically unable to perform list to start the year, which would rule him out for at least six weeks.

Bridgewater is a year removed from suffering a devastating knee injury in practice, and Vikings coach Mike Zimmer recently said all the reports surrounding the former first-round pick have been positive. Even if Bridgewater is activated at some point during the 2017 season, he will likely serve behind Sam Bradford in a backup role.
