The Minnesota Vikings have called off practice on Tuesday after just 25 minutes after quarterback Teddy Bridgewater appeared to have suffered a non-contact knee injury, according to ESPN's Ben Goessling:
The Vikings asked reporters to leave the field area and to gather in the media room, where coach Mike Zimmer is expected to address Bridgewater's injury.
Players removed their helmets and gathered around Bridgewater as the third-year quarterback was examined by medical personnel. An ambulance later drove onto the field.
Brian Murphy of the Pioneer Press also described the scene in greater detail:
Bad scene. Bridgewater down in pocket grabbing left knee. Players freaked out, swearing and praying. Immobilized. Practice halted #Vikings
