Bridgewater has been ruled out of Sunday's game versus the Rams with a concussion.
After an unnecessary hit from cornerback LaMarcus Joyner on a slide in the second half, Bridgewater remained on the turf for some time before walking slowly to the sideline. Now that Bridgewater is in the concussion protocol, his eventual return will be contingent upon receiving clearance from an independent neurologist, thereby clouding his availability for Sunday's contest at Oakland. In the meantime, he'll yield quarterback to journeyman Shaun Hill.
