Vikings' Sam Bradford (knee) expected to practice next week

Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer said Sam Bradford (knee) is expected to practice next week.

What It Means:

Bradford has been on injured reserve since Week 10 and is eligible to be activated following Week 17. Once Bradford practices, Minnesota will have three weeks to activate him or leave him on injured reserve.

Something would really have to go awry for Bradford to take over for Case Keenum as the starter for the playoffs, but Bradford could end up as the backup over Teddy Bridgewater if he has a decent showing in practices.
