    Vikings QB Bridgewater might be done for the season

    I just saw a couple tweets that said he went down at practice with a non-contact injury. It apparently looked serious and all the players were down on one knee praying. They canceled the remainder of practice. Pure speculation on my part, but that sounds like a season-ending knee injury. Their season might already be over. Their only other qb's are 36 year old Shaun Hill and an undrafted rookie named Joel Stave. Yikes.

    Doesn't sound like he'll be ok. Being described as serious.

    Shaun Hill has performed well when pressed into action.

    With all this **** going on, I don't understand why they don't wear knee braces.

    ACL.

    In other news, Buffalo Bills coach Rex Ryan orders starting QB Tyrod Taylor in wheel chairs for all workouts and practices until the season opener.

    An ambulance took him to the hospital and he was getting trauma treatment.

    This isn't an ACL

    Why are we trying to get rid of EJ.

    If Tyrod goes down you want Jones starting?

    From a non-contact injury? Did the dude have a heart attack?

    That's possible. Isn't that what happened to Drew Bledsoe in New England? His was triggered by a hit, but it wouldn't surprise me if a previous hit triggered something. I hope he's ok, that would be a horrible way to end a season.

    It's a compound Fracture, I have no idea how that happened on a non-contact injury. Holy crap, talk about bad luck (Not that Luck).

    Serious knee injury

    AnD great quite by a good coach:

    The Vikes head coach just said it was a significant knee injury. Bridgewater is getting an MRI done as this message is being typed, and the team will know more about it no earlier than tonight.

    Re: Vikings QB Bridgewater might be done for the season

    For the life of me I can't understand why so many of these world class athletes get hurt by themselves. When they get hit its one thing. But you often hear of the non contact injuries. These guys are absolute beasts and the top of the pyramid in athleticism and strength. Why ?

    I would guess they are pushing the stress points of their bodies mechanical structure/capabilities beyond their limits.

    On non contact injuries ? They would have to be doing some weird stretching, body bending weird ass moves.

    Maybe it's the demanding strain/stress on their bones, muscles and body...Some people are just not meant to take that constant physical punishment.
