Though Vikings quarterback Sam Bradford said his left knee feels better than it did on Sunday, when he was unable to play in the team’s 26-9 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, it remains unclear whether he will be able to start on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Bradford said he plans to practice on Wednesday and test his knee throughout the week, after a noncontact injury he sustained in the team’s season-opening win against the New Orleans Saints limited him in practice last week and kept him out of the Steelers game.
“I would like to think that [my chances of playing] are good, but I think a lot of it just depends on how my knee responds when we go out there and practice this week,” Bradford said.
