Mike Zimmer is ‘more optimistic now’ about Teddy Bridgewater playing again

Published May. 5, 2017 3:30 p.m. ET

The Minnesota Vikings are set to start Sam Bradford at quarterback for a second straight season while Teddy Bridgewater recovers from a significant knee injury. There’s no telling when Bridgewater will be back – it’s worth noting the Vikings declined his fifth-year option – but Mike Zimmer is confident he will return at some point.

“I love Teddy Bridgewater,” Zimmer said Friday. “The guy is working his rear end off and continues to fight every single day. Everything about him, when he’s rehabbing and doing the work he has to do is the exact same way he approaches life, so. I’m excited.

“I’m probably more optimistic now about him potentially playing than I have at any point in time. But he still has a long way to go.”
