Minnesota Vikings QB Teddy Bridgewater was back on the practice field and the Vikings fans will rejoice with the sound of that noise. Bridgewater wasn’t able to get into the game last week with short rest, but is able to get onto the practice field this week and should be ready to go against the Detroit Lions.

Bridgewater brings this team hope. He is the future and has already shown his potential when he is on the field, but missing last weekend against the Green Bay Packers hurt. The offense struggled without him leading the team.

With Bridgewater back, the team will be looking to even up their record against the Detroit Lions. The Lions are in first place in the division at this time and the Vikes can put a dent in them and even up their records.

The division is there for the taking. The Lions just misstepped against Kyle Orton and the Buffalo Bills. I am sure that Bridgewater would want to get onto the field and lead his team to victory against them.
