So far this season, the offensive line has been dealing with injuries and none of them have lingered as long as the back injury for Garrett Bradbury has.
The Minnesota Vikings signed him to a new contract back in March, but he only played in a few snaps in the season opener.
Buy Vikings TicketsIn speaking with the media earlier on Wednesday, Bradbury expressed his frustration with the injury, one he dealt with last season as well.
“It’s been really just annoying to be honest,” Bradbury told The Star Tribune’s Andrew Krammer. “Feeling better. Working with as many people as I can to feel better and I am feeling better. It’s coming around quicker than last year.”
Bradbury nearly had a fully healed back after two weeks last season, but a minor car accident after the game against the Indianapolis Colts knocked him out for the final three games, but he returned for the playoff game against the New York Giants.
When he comes back, he will be taking over for Austin Schlottmann, who is PFF’s 12th-ranked center in his absence.
