EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- It appears Teddy Bridgewater is still on track to return as the Minnesota Vikings' starting quarterback this week.

Bridgewater was back at practice on Tuesday, as the Vikings came back from a long weekend following their 42-10 loss to the Green Bay Packers on Thursday night. The rookie missed that game with a sprained ankle, but coach Mike Zimmer said after the game the Vikings planned to start Bridgewater on Oct. 12 against the Detroit Lions.

The Vikings were, however, without safety Harrison Smith, who sprained his left ankle on Thursday night against the Packers and left the practice facility on crutches on Friday. We'll hear more about Smith's status from coach Mike Zimmer this afternoon. Linebacker Chad Greenway and tight end Kyle Rudolph were out with broken ribs and a sports hernia, respectively.
