Minnesota Vikings rookie quarterback Teddy Bridgewater was a no-go in practice on Monday, leading to speculation about his status for Thursday Night Football against the Green Bay Packers.

Per Mike Florio of NBC's Pro Football Talk, "many teams playing on a short week don’t practice on Monday, submitting instead an estimation of who would and wouldn’t have practiced.  For the Vikings, the report includes no such disclaimer, which means that practiced without their starting quarterback."

Bridgewater suffered a sprained right ankle in the Vikings' Week 4 victory over the Atlanta Falcons. X-rays and MRIs came back negative in regards to added damage, so it's possible that he was held out mainly for precautionary reasons.

In order to make up for Bridgewater's absence, the Vikings added Chandler Harnish and McLeod Bethel-Thompson to the practice squad, giving them three quarterbacks including Christian Ponder.
