Bridgewater: 'I'm doing everything I dreamed of doing' in return from injury
New York Jets quarterback Teddy Bridgewater seems happy with where he's at in his first full training camp since suffering a knee injury in 2016 with the Minnesota Vikings.
"Right now, I'm doing everything I dreamed of doing - and that's waking up and continuing to play football," Bridgewater said, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN. "It's a wonderful feeling. It gives me chills right now to think about it, knowing how the previous two years were."
Bridgewater, the 32nd overall pick of the Vikings in the 2014 NFL Draft, missed the entire 2016 campaign and would attempt just two passes in a late-game appearance in 2017.
The 25-year-old is expected to receive plenty of playing time in the Jets' preseason opener against the Atlanta Falcons on Friday.
