Bridgewater (pectoral) cleared the concussion protocol Saturday, but the veteran remains listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings and is still expected to back up rookie Skylar Thompson, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.

Bridgewater also reportedly injured his pec, but the injury is deemed to be minor. The veteran missed most of practice this week going through the various stages of concussion protocol, which appears to be the reason the Dolphins are opting to start Thompson, who was unimpressive while coming on in relief in the first quarter of last week's loss to the Jets. Expect the Dolphins to officially confirm Bridgewater's availability -- or lack thereof -- with the release of their inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff.
