Earlier in the week, Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said the team was planning to go against Denver Broncos quarterback Teddy Bridgewater on Sunday. It sounds like he was right.
Bridgewater suffered a concussion last week but according to Broncos beat writer Mike Klis, Bridgewater is expected to be released from the NFL’s concussion protocol and will be practicing on Friday and expects to play on Sunday.
Denver is a completely different offense with Bridgewater in there. The Steelers defense needs a big comeback after a miserable performance last week against the Green Bay Packers and Bridgewater presents another significant challenge.
Per source, the expectation is Teddy Bridgewater will be cleared by independent docs this morning and fully practice today. He’ll meet with Bronco medical staff post practice, but barring setback, the expectation is he’ll be fully cleared for Sunday’s game. #9sports
