Teddy Bridgewater Placed on PUP List by Vikings Due to Knee Injury Recovery

15 HRS AGO - The Minnesota Vikings formally placed quarterback Teddy Bridgewater on the active/physically unable to perform list Wednesday as he continues to recover from a torn ACL and dislocated knee suffered last August, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
The MMQB's Albert Breer noted the move was a formality and will leave the door open for the 24-year-old to be placed on the reserve/PUP list if he's not ready by Week 1.
Bridgewater may not be back at 100 percent yet since he's just 11 months removed from the severe knee injury, but every indication is that he's made positive strides of late.
On July 13, the Star Tribune's Michael Rand reported Bridgewater was working out without a knee brace, news that came two days before Bridgewater relayed pictures of a private throwing session with former Louisville teammate DeVante Parker:
Even so, Bridgewater may be looking at a second straight season on the sidelines.

Everson Griffen, Vikings Reportedly Finalizing 4-Year Contract Extension
22 HRS AGO - NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported Wednesday that the Minnesota Vikings and defensive end Everson Expand
22 HRS AGO - NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported Wednesday that the Minnesota Vikings and defensive end Everson Griffen are finalizing a "massive," four-year contract extension.
Per Spotrac, Griffen's current deal runs through 2018 and pays him an average annual salary of $8.2 million.
The 29-year-old Griffen was named to his second consecutive Pro Bowl last season after posting 48 tackles, 8.0 sacks, three fumble recoveries, two forced fumbles and one touchdown.
He registered double-digit sacks in each of the previous two seasons, and has missed just one game over the past six campaigns.
Griffen was originally a fourth-round pick out of USC by the Vikes in 2010, and he has gradually developed into one of the NFL's most complete, reliable defensive ends.
He is currently ninth on the Vikings' all-time sacks list with 48.0, and another strong season in 2017 could move him inside the top five.
While Brian Robison and Danielle Hunter provide support, Griffen is unquestionably Minnesota's best Collapse
