The Facts: During an organized team activities session Wednesday, Bridgewater was breaking a sweat as he continues his rehabilitation from last August's horrific knee injury. Bridgewater has not been cleared to practice, but he threw with other quarterbacks during position drills Wednesday and worked on the side wearing a resistance band held and pulled by assistant athletic trainer Tom Hunkele.

Diehards Line: While Bridgewater participated in OTAs last week, Wednesday marked the first time the media he has seen him on the field since Aug. 30, when he suffered a torn left ACL and dislocated knee in practice and was lost for the season. According to Pioneer-Press staffer Chris Tomasson, Bridgewater threw a number of crisp passes to Diggs and other receivers. Some of his tosses were longer than 20 yards. While working with the resistance band, Bridgewater did some dropbacks and light running. The Vikings have not put a timetable on when he will be cleared to practice.
