Eden Prairie, MN (SportsNetwork.com) – Minnesota Vikings rookie quarterback Teddy Bridgewater is scheduled to start Sunday’s game against the Detroit Lions after missing the team’s most recent tilt against the Green Bay Packers.<\/p>\n
Bridgewater, who suffered a sprained left ankle late in the Vikings’ 41-28 Week 4 win over Atlanta, practiced fully all week. The 2014 first-round pick took over the No. 1 job following veteran Matt Cassel’s season-ending broken foot in Minnesota’s Week 2 loss to New England.<\/p>\n
Minus Bridgewater, the Vikings were dealt a 42-10 loss by the Packers last week as fill-in starter Christian Ponder threw two interceptions.<\/p>\n
Safety Harrison Smith (ankle) is questionable for Sunday’s game. He was a limited participant in Thursday and Friday’s practice after missing Wednesday’s session.<\/p>\n
Linebacker Chad Greenway returned to practice on Friday — albeit limited — for the first time since breaking three ribs in Minnesota’s Week 3 loss at New Orleans. He remains doubtful to play, however.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
