Mike Zimmer: Don't Count Vikings Out After Teddy Bridgewater Injury

Aug 31, 2016 8:15 AM

The landscape of the season for the Minnesota Vikings changed dramatically on Tuesday when Teddy Bridgewater suffered a dislocated knee and torn ACL during practice.

However, Mike Zimmer doesn't believe the Vikings should pity themselves.

"We'll get back in here tomorrow and we'll get back to work," Zimmer said. "We're not going to stick our heads in the sand. We're not going to go tuck our legs. We're not looking for excuses. We're going to fight like we always do. We have some great football players on this team and we'll figure out ways to win football games if he's not here and that's what we're going to do."
