 Re: 2017 Season General Comments (pressers, practice notes,
Bradford's knee required an MRI. Per Mort, there's "guarded optimism but concern" about it.

 Re: 2017 Season General Comments (pressers, practice notes,
Vikings still optimistic that Sam Bradford will play vs. SteelersQuote: The source said that the MRI did not reveal any specific damage but that scans do not always offer a clear picture in a knee that has undergone multiple ACL repairs.
It is the same knee that underwent ACL repairs in 2013 and 2014, when Bradford was with the Rams.
Bradford has been listed as a limited participant on the team's practice reports all week, but the source said the thought was that Bradford would be able to play when the Vikings visit the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday.
Case Keenum is the backup and has gotten an increased workload in practice this week.
The fact that the Vikings did not elevate quarterback Kyle Sloter from the practice squad seems to support the guarded optimism about Sunday's status, but the team has until 4 p.m. ET Saturday to make a roster move.

The offensive line finally protects him at a halfassed decent level and THEN he gets injured. Sure.

 Re: 2017 Season General Comments (pressers, practice notes,
Barr, Bradford, Rhodes all questionable for Sunday. You know, nobody important.

Mike zimmer said starting QB might not be known until Sunday said Sam Bradford getting better [VIDEO]Sam Bradford going through his reps during the open portion of practice on WednesdayLooks like Keenum this week

 Re: 2017 Season General Comments (pressers, practice notes,
Why do you say it looks like Keenum this week? If anything this seems like very good news. I'd almost lean more towards Bradford. He said it just didnt feel right last week but he feels better now. We'll see.

He said it just didnt feel right last week but he feels better now. We'll see. I know it's just a couple of throws but if you watch the video, he's moving really slow and careful. Would be nice to see him moving like how Keenum is at normal speed.

Bradford not present at the start of practice. I'd be surprised if he suited up.

Sounds like he's getting knee looked at not likely to play this sunday Quote: Chris Tomasson @christomasson 31s32 seconds ago
ESPN reports that Sam Bradford is seeking second opinion on knee from Dr. James Andrews, not expected to play Sunday. Quote: Ian RapoportVerified account @RapSheet 1m1 minute ago

Case Keenum was taking first-team reps, and source confirms Sam Bradford is out Sunday.

Plus that stadium is a big home field advantage. I'm incredibly pessimistic. Our offensive line isn't good, despite its week 1. McCoy/Spence will be incredibly disruptive and I have zero faith in Waynes matched up against Evans or Jackson. If I was Tampa Bay I'd have Jackson throw deep shots to Jackson all game and wait for the PI. If Bradford was playing, I'd think they would stand a bit more of a chance. Even then I wouldn't like their odds, even at home. Really hope I'm wrong.

 Re: 2017 Season General Comments (pressers, practice notes,
Mike Harris' condition revealed. He has retired. Quote: After tests were conducted at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, it was determined Harris had a congenital condition known as brain arteriovenous malformation (AVM). The Mayo Clinic website describes it as “a tangle of abnormal blood vessels connecting arteries and veins in the brain.’’ http://www.twincities.com/2017/09/26/ex ... etirement/Sounds scary but looks like the prognosis is good. Worth the read. Good luck to Mike. He grew into being a reliable starter. Really sucks for him.

 Re: 2017 Season General Comments (pressers, practice notes,
Just to get a good laugh, Matt Kalil is currently ranked 61st out of 72 qualifiers according to PFF. Riley Reiff is ranked 18th and Mike Remmers is ranked 19th. So maybe finally, the "Spielman doesnt know what he's doing" stuff could actually stop for once. Reiff got a 5 year $58.5 mill deal Remmers got a 5 year $30 mill deal Matt Kalil got a 5 year 55 mill deal
