Teddy Bridgewater hasn't touched the gridiron since suffering a severe knee injury last August, but Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer said Tuesday the 24-year-old is "all in, trying to get ready to play" this season.

"I don't watch him every single day because he's over there off to the side while we're practicing," Zimmer said, per ESPN.com news services. "But the reports I get are all positive. And he knows where he's at and where he's got to get to. I think he's progressing well."

It's essentially the same sentiment Zimmer expressed Saturday, when he told Fox Sports' Jay Glazer there was "a possibility" Bridgewater could return in 2017.
