Bradford not sure he can get healthy before Week 9 bye

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Bradford isn't certain that he'll be back to full health anytime soon.

The eighth-year veteran practiced for a second consecutive day on a limited basis Friday after doing so for the first time in two weeks Thursday, though he doubts he'll be feeling his best before the team's Week 9 break arrives.

"I would like it to be 100 percent but at this point I don't even know if that's possible until the bye week or the end of the year," Bradford said Friday, according to Brian Murphy of the Pioneer Press.

Bradford said his knee's improved dramatically in the last two weeks, calling the difference "night and day," according to Courtney Cronin of ESPN.

Bradford has been out while he deals with a knee bruise suffered in the season opener versus the New Orleans Saints. He still hasn't been ruled out for Monday's game against the Chicago Bears, and told Murphy he hopes to know his status by Saturday.
