Teddy Bridgewater has been placed on the physically unable to perform list to start the season while also cutting offensive guard Alex Boone.

The Vikings approached Boone about taking a pay cut. Boone will cost $3.4 million in dead money toward the team's salary cap this year. Boone signed a four-year, $26.8 million contract with Minnesota in March 2016. 

Bridgewater sustained what some thought would be a career-ending injury in August 2016 when he dislocated his knee and suffered a complete tear of his ACL and other ligaments.

Bridgewater will be eligible to come off the PUP after the first six games.
