The Minnesota Vikings will go into the 2016 season without their starting quarterback.
Teddy Bridgewater suffered a dislocated knee and torn ACL at practice Tuesday the team said in a released statement. Practice concluded just 30 minutes after it started due to his injury.
“After undergoing an MRI, it was determined that Teddy suffered a complete tear to his ACL and other structural damage,” the Vikings statement said. “Fortunately, there appears to be no nerve or arterial damage. Surgical repair will be scheduled within the next few days.”
“Although the recovery time will be significant, we expect Teddy to make a full recovery. I would like to thank all of the medical professionals and our athletic training staff for all of their help today. Teddy has already displayed the attitude needed to overcome this injury and attack his rehab.”
Announcement of Bridgewater’s injury comes hours after he went down in practice with a non-contact injury.
With Bridgewater going down, this places backup Shaun Hill into the starting role. In his career, Hill is 16-18 as a starter and last started for the Los Angeles Rams in their last season in St. Louis. He completed over 63% of his passes for 1,657 yards, eight touchdowns and seven interceptions.
