If all goes according to plan, quarterback Teddy Bridgewater will return to the Vikings' active roster Wednesday (possibly to Sam Bradford’s detriment). It's the latest plot point in Bridgewater’s inspiring story, the culmination of more than 400 days of recovery since the 24-year-old dislocated his knee in a practice near the end of the 2016 preseason. But the reason the roster move leads this newsletter is because of the questions surrounding what happens next.
Every indication out of Minnesota is that Case Keenum will start Sunday in Washington. He's led the Vikings to four straight wins so coach Mike Zimmer might as well throw him out there again as Bridgewater reacquaints himself with the position.
