Teddy Bridgewater has been cleared to return to practice 14 months after injuring his knee.

Dr. Dan Cooper, an orthopedic specialist who performed the major surgery on the dislocation, examined Bridgewater on Monday morning and cleared him to begin practice on Wednesday.

The Vikings now have a decision on whether to take Bridgewater off the PUP list.

Sam Bradford was acquired by the Vikings after Bridgewater's injury but he's dealt with injuries of his own this season.
