Bridgewater's Career May Be Over
Brace Hemmelgarn-USA TODAY Sports
Potentially terrible news this morning. Teddy Bridgewater has been battling rehab since a complete tear of his ACL this preseason. Things seemed serious but would ultimately be fine in time due to no artery or nerve damage. Doctors now fear the damage may be too devastating for Bridgewater to ever play football again.
Via ESPN’s Adam Schefter:
“Teddy Bridgewater continues to rehab in Minnesota and he is making progress. Nearly two months after he dislocated his knee, Bridgewater is making strides and Vikings officials are pleased with where he’s at. But other doctors around the league know there are no guarantees Bridgewater will be able to return to the type of quarterback he was, if he makes it back to the NFL at all.
As one doctor who’s worked with NFL teams said this week, ‘If he didn’t make it back, it wouldn’t surprise me. This is a bad injury, about the worse knee injury a player can have.’“
It would truly be a heartbreaking ending to what seemed to be such a promising career.
