Teddy Bridgewater Sheds Some Light on His Leg Injury

Christopher Gates has been the lead writer at The Daily Norseman since the site launched in July of 2006, covering the Minnesota Vikings day in and day out.

It’s been a while since we talked about Teddy Bridgewater, but in a recent interview the former Minnesota Vikings quarterback talked about the moment that we all remember about Bridgewater’s brief time in Minnesota.

On an episode of The Pivot Podcast with former NFL stars Ryan Clark, Channing Crowder, and Fred Taylor, Bridgewater talked about the day his Vikings career changed. That was 30 August 2016 when he suffered a non-contact leg injury in practice that saw him get rushed to the hospital and, from numerous accounts, nearly lose his leg.
