Minnesota Vikings quarterback Teddy Bridgewater returned to the team’s practice Tuesday and now he expects to to play on Sunday in the Vikings’ third preseason game against the San Diego Chargers, according to the Star Tribune’s Andrew Krammer. Bridgewater did not play in Minnesota’s second preseason game last Thursday against the Seattle Seahawks and it was reportedly due to a sore shoulder.

Sunday’s game seems a bit more important than normal for the Vikings’ quarterback to be on the field, considering it will be the first time that the team plays in its new home at U.S. Bank Stadium.
Fantasy impact: Bridgewater will begin 2016 as a low-end QB2, but that could change as the season progresses. With Minnesota now moving back indoors for more than half of its games each year, will the team see in an increase in its young quarterback’s stat sheet?
Fantasy owners will certainly be playing close attention to how Bridgewater performs in his team’s new home this season.
