MINNEAPOLIS -- Vikings quarterback Teddy Bridgewater is being evaluated for a concussion after being elbowed in the head by Rams defensive back Lamarcus Joyner in the fourth quarter Sunday.
Bridgewater suffered the injury while sliding for a five-yard gain with 13:36 left in the fourth quarter. He remained face-down on the field for several seconds after the hit from Joyner, who came in after Bridgewater had already begun his slide.
The quarterback had taken a low hit from William Hayes on the Vikings' previous drive, but referee Ron Torbert didn't call a penalty with Bridgewater outside the pocket.
