2016 Season General Comments (pressers, practice notes, etc)

[Mothman]

Could be a lot of minor things: Impingement, muscular strain, or a bursa.

He'll be fine. It will be wise to limit his throwing in the meantime.

I guess time will tell. The way Zimmer has handled it makes me a bit suspicious.

Me too... Even if he is fine in week 1, will he be ok for the season?

Cold is temporary. Purple Pride is forever.

This is true, but, I have to stress: Zimmer is not obligated to share a player's medical history.

In fact, unless he is explicitly allowed to by Teddy Bridgewater and the medical staff (whether through expressed verbal consent, written documentation, wavier, etc.) he cannot speak on Teddy's physical status.

34 years ago today, the #Vikings played the first preseason game in the Metrodome, beating Seattle 7-3. Next Sunday first at U.S. Bank.

Teddy Bridgewater did not throw a pass for a second consecutive practice on Sunday, and Shaun Hill also did not... es.pn/2ba7z3Z

LT Matt Kalil left practice early after visiting the athletic trainers. Hobbled off on his own and didn't return. #Vikings



Matt Kalil limped out of practice and did not return. T.J. Clemmings took over for him as the first-team left tackle.

Hill too? I wonder why he didn't throw.

*shudder*

The thought of Clemmings having to take over at left tackle in an actual game scares me.

[halfgiz]

Againest the Seahawks Sirles was lousy on the left side againest the backups.
Clemmings was just as bad on the right side.
Something to keep an eye on I guess.

Mike Zimmer didn't talk to the media after practice. He didn't look too happy as he quickly left the field and went up stairs to office.

#Vikings are taking tomorrow off instead of Tuesday. One could assume they'll have another healthy quarterback by then.

Edit:

#Vikings CB Tre Roberson didn't play Thurs at Seattle because he broke his hand in 2ndQ Aug 12 at Cincy & continued to play Back at practice

This whole QB situation is making me very nervous.......hope its just preseason jitters.....(me)

My guess is that they want more reps to evaluate other arms. I'm not sure how strong their comfort level in Hill is.

So let me get this straight. Before week 1 we're down our starting: QB, LT, MLB, DT, CB, potential starting RG/RT (Harris) and potential starting RT (Loadholt). That about sum up the delightful sh*t salad we have going?

[halfgiz]

It's a little concerning when the 2 QB's running practice yesterday don't even have a snap in a NFL game.
Glad they are off today, the offense is in aweful shape.

[fiestavike]

Boone, Berger, Sully, Fusco, Smith?

Yep, the Injury cart is getting full and we haven't even played a single regular season down yet.

I knew once we started getting excited something would happen...
