Teddy Bridgewater is two years removed from a gruesome knee injury that has kept him on the sidelines. But the veteran quarterback feels like he’s back to normal and is eager to compete for the New York Jets starting job.
In September of 2016, Bridgewater suffered a non-contact knee injury that resulted in a dislocated knee, a torn ACL, and other structural damage. Bridgewater went on to miss the entire 2016 season and played only a handful of snaps in the 2017 season.
His Jets debut in Friday night’s preseason opener against the Atlanta Falcons will be the first time he’s seen significant playing time since starting the entire 2015 season for the Minnesota Vikings.
