Your thoughts and prayers mean a lot to me and have helped me in this difficult time. There are great players and great leaders in our locker room who are going to fight to the end to reach the goals we set for 2016. I will be there mentally, physically and in spirit to support them accomplish those goals.In order to have a testimony, you have to have a test. I come from amazing DNA, I watched my mom fight and win against breast cancer. We will, as a team, attack my rehab with the same vigor and energy. My faith is strong, my faith is unwavering and my vision is clear. My purpose will not be denied.A team official said Bridgewater gave the team a handwritten draft of the statement.

[To hear him] talking about how he was going to battle his rehab, to see him in such high spirits definitely was good.Coach Mike Zimmer said he also went to see Bridgewater in the hospital, and when the coach wandered into the training room on Thursday, it was like everything was normal.There were probably 20 guys in there and theyre all sitting on the training tables talking to him, joking around like they always do, Zimmer said. It was good for not only us, but for Teddy as well.The Vikings placed Bridgewater on injured reserve Wednesday, and he was expected to undergo knee surgery in the next few days. The team had released Brad Sorensen on Tuesday before Bridgewater was injured early in their practice; the Vikings re-signed Sorensen on Wednesday after putting Bridgewater on IR.With backup Shaun Hill becoming the starting quarterback, Joel Stave and Sorensen got most of the work in the Vikings final preseason game against the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday, a 27-25 win for Minnesota.
