MInnesota Vikings quarterback Teddy Bridgewater (concussion) is active for Sunday's game against the Oakland Raiders. In Week 9, Bridgewater was elbowed in the head by St. Louis Rams defensive back Lamarcus Joyner while he was trying to slide at the end of a run Sunday. Bridgewater was expected to start Week 10 after practicing fully on Friday, but he still needed to be officially cleared through the NFL's concussion protocol. The Vikings are currently 6-2 and are tied for first in the NFC North with the Green Bay Packers, who they will face in Week 11.
