PITTSBURG (KMSP) - Sam Bradford was listed as inactive for Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers with a knee injury, leaving a hole under center just as the Vikings' season was heating up.
The announcement came just after Bradford was spotted on the field throwing a few passes before the game, though he headed back to the locker room after just a few minutes.
The Vikings announced a few days ago that Bradford's start would be a game time decision after he suffered a left knee injury earlier in the week. The injury is to the same knee he's had two ACL surgeries on, most recently in 2014.
