Bridgewater works out with former Louisville teammate DeVante Parker

Teddy Bridgewater still has no timetable for a return from his devastating August 2016 knee injury, but the Minnesota Vikings quarterback continues to give reasons for optimism.

After posting a series of brace-free workout pictures Wednesday, Bridgewater tweeted out snaps of some drills he ran with former Louisville teammate and current Miami Dolphins wide receiver, DeVante Parker, on Saturday.

While the chances of Bridgewater being ready for the start of the season seem remote, his increased activity ahead of the start of training camp on July 26 is a positive sign.

Bridgewater missed the entire 2016 campaign, with Sam Bradford taking over as Minnesota's starter. Bradford will continue to hold down the fort until Bridgewater is cleared, at which point the Vikings will likely have a tough decision to make about the future of the game's most important position.
