Twitter rumors from several pretty solid twitter sources are strongly hinting that Teddy has been or is within days of being cleared to practice.  The rumors seem to be that he will come off the PUP sometime this week.  If this is true, things are about to get crazy.

I'd be shocked. He'd be way ahead of the curve. To practice 100% unlimited seems unrealistic already. But after getting some coffee and getting caught up on my Twitter feed, I see what you are saying: one dude that is connected to TB seems to be insinuating the Vikings will announce some 'big news' this week. Usually, its just B.S.

If they thought he was coming off PUP they wouldn't have signed Leidner.

Makes no sense with the signing of leidener,  if there is going to be any big news it's likely that he is going to the PUP for sure,  or it will be about one of the other QBs.    
Unless a miracle happened in the last 2 weeks or he was really putting on a show he was not close to being ready to return to contact.

None of us know the state of Teddy's knee.   I still find it improbable that he is being activated.

i think a lot of fans are putting WAY to much stock into the Leidener signing. Sounds like Heinicke was dinged up and they simply need another arm until the cutdowns come. Possibly for game snaps as well. He'll be gone in a few weeks. 

Based upon the sources throwing the rumors out there, i think its legit. I believe Teddy comes off the PUP this week.

What's the leidener signing have to do with anything?  Teams sign and cut practice squad players all the time.  For all we know we just need another QB to be throwing balls in practice and he could be gone in a couple days.

Yeah, I think the mystery of the Leidner signing has been shown to be because Heinicke is dinged up a bit, might miss a few days of practice or so. Need another arm to sling it around practice for a bit.

You obviously don't pay attention around here, if you don't know by now that we actually have a source here, then you need to wake up. There is a reason why this site continues to grow and add some amazing Viking fans

Wow, it would be surprising to say the least.  However, I've been around long enough not to be shocked by anything.

This is kind of where I am at with it.  I know what I saw 2 weeks ago in terms of his running,  I know what my gut is telling me,  and I know that Teddy has been putting things out there for several months now that gives people hope.  ( I do want to see him back)  I am not going to be shocked when it happens regardless of when,  but I will be pissed if they activate him and he isnt full go ready  or if he still has that crazy huge limiting brace on.

It is not me, but you have to know that there are at least 4 people on this site who really do have sources that are reliable.  To tell you more, potentially spoils those sources for future information.  Some time things are on the record, and sometimes they are off the record.
