Minnesota Vikings quarterback Teddy Bridgewater was cleared to practice by his doctor Dan Cooper on Monday and plan to take him off the PUP list, according to a report by eSPN's Chris Mortensen.

Mortensen reported the Vikings plan for Bridgewater to be at practice on Wednesday.

The Vikings had not yet made a statement on Bridgewater’s status as of Monday afternoon.

Bridgewater dislocated his knee and completely tore his ACL in August 2016 and has not played since.

In 2014 and 2015 with the Vikings, Bridgewater has thrown for 6,150 yards, 28 touchdowns and 21 interceptions in 29 games.

A former Louisville quarterback, Bridgewater was selected by the Vikings at No. 32 overall in the 2014 NFL Draft.
