Unless something happens in pregame, Sam Bradford expected to be the No. 2 QB behind Case Keenum. Mike Zimmer has never had 3 QBs active so Teddy Bridgewater is aware of possibility he could be inactive.

The return of Bradford means Teddy Bridgewater will have to sit this one out. He has been marked inactive for the game.

Minnesota believes Bradford will be a better back up to Keenum than Bridgewater for the Saints game, according to NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport.

Decisions for the Vikings’ QB will have to be made in the off season, since none their top QBs will be under contract in 2018. The Vikings will be facing the Saints at 5pm ET on Sunday.
