Charles Johnson, Vikings Receivers Reconnect with Teddy Bridgewater

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. – Charles Johnson enjoyed a certain degree of familiarity when he caught passes Tuesday.

Teddy Bridgewater was back in the mix after not playing in Thursday’s preseason game and having light practices on Saturday and Sunday. Johnson said it felt good to snag balls from the starting quarterback again.

“Once you’ve been going [with] the same guy for so long, catching from another guy’s a little different,” said Johnson, who’s entering his third season with Bridgewater. “Teddy throws with a great touch. He understands the defense very well, so he’s able to throw with anticipation a lot, so he’s not out there trying to force stuff too many times.
