Pelissero says Sam has a bone bruise
Report: Sam Bradford believed to have bone bruise
Bradford spent last week practicing on a limited basis when he wasn’t getting an MRI in hopes of getting a handle on the swelling and discomfort in the same knee as his twice-torn ACL. That’s not quite the textbook definition of fine, especially with Zimmer unwilling to say when Bradford might play again.
Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reports that Bradford is believed to have a bone bruise and that he will have an injection in his knee this week. The response to that injection will determine next steps and provide a better idea of when Bradford might be able to return to full action.
The Vikings host the Buccaneers next Sunday and they’ll hold their first practice of the week on Wednesday.
The way Leber was talking about it really leaves you wondering how threatening it really is? The devil's in the details and is dependent on the causal and/or location.
If this is bone on bone it could be really bad for obvious reasons...But that's a worst case scenario and I'm staying hopeful for now.
Jeebus, life of a Viking fan is not an easy one.
What bone?
the patella?
tibia?
fibula?
lower femur?
so my kid took a helmet to the tibia, went to docs....bone bruise.
big golf ball lump there. out two weeks, has been practicing / playing with a soccer shin guard there
Nobody knows V83. Or rather, they know but won't say. Regardless a bunch of people are just making up stuff in the meantime.

They have not released that kind of detail that I'm aware of. Not holding my breath that they do. Sam may very well be a game time decision again.
Thats what i'd do if I were Zimmer....Keep TB game planning against 2 qb's. Or at least 1.5 ;)
Been reading a lot about these bone bruises. Sounds like they're much worse than they sound. It's not just a "pain thing" either. If Sam even considered playing on Sunday, then perhaps it's not as bad as others, but the typical recovery time is 4 to 6 weeks.

What is a bone bruise? It is not a simple contusion that is treated with ice and managed symptomatically. A deep bone bruise is essentially a microscopic fracture, much like a ligament sprain is a microscopic tear. I am not suggesting it is a true fracture that needs surgery or casting, but there is compromise to the integrity of the bone in order to get the swelling/fluid inside the bone.

so basically we could see Teddy coming back from the IR at the same time we see Sam coming back from this.... oooh grab the popcorn... this is about to get interesting.
(I am just kidding, I highly doubt Teddy will have the rust knocked off much before Thanksgiving if he even does come back this year.)

That's the truly frustrating thing about this. If this had happened post-PUP, then we could've conceivably seen Bridgewater. Getting him into a few games could've helped us either restore Teddy's value, either on the market or as our QB moving forward.
would love to hear what guru has to say... a bone bruise!?!? CMON SLEEVES!!! But dang Zim, could a guy have any more bad luck!?
Bone bruises are extremely painful to even touch, let alone play football with...
when it happened to my son the trainer and I were sure it was broken.
you could feel the bone was concaved in as you traced it down the leg.
we both looked at each other, and I was like "yeah...we're going now" (hospital)
my my kid was bummed that his season was likely over, but no break...bone bruise of the tibia. big, ungodly golf ball knot on the front of his leg, black and blue....and two weeks of no contact. He still has a bump there (6 weeks now) smaller, but still hurts when pressed on. He plays with a soccer shin guard to protect the bump.
