Vikings coach Mike Zimmer said after last Thursday’s loss to the Packers that the team expected to have quarterback Teddy Bridgewater back in the starting lineup and Tuesday brought no reason to think that plan has changed.

Bridgewater took part in the team’s practice and various media members reported that he showed no signs of ongoing issues with the ankle injury that kept him out against Green Bay. After the practice concluded, Zimmer said the team wouldn’t be talking about injuries although he did say that the quarterback was “fine” before moving on to other topics.

Zimmer’s desire to wait for Wednesday meant there wasn’t any update about safety Harrison Smith’s ankle. Smith was injured Thursday’s game and didn’t take part in the portion of practice open to the media, although the injury didn’t stop him from making it through the Packers game.

Wide receiver Jarius Wright also missed practice, but Zimmer said it was a personal matter and not injury related.
