Bridgewater (shoulder) took part in Saturday's practice but didn't attempt a pass, ESPN.com reports.
Bridgewater was sidelined in Thursday's preseason game due to a sore right shoulder, a diagnosis that was confirmed by head coach Mike Zimmer after Saturday's session. The quarterback himself was capped to running plays, but with plenty of time to rest up in advance of the Vikings' next exhibition on Sunday, Aug. 28 versus the Chargers, Bridgewater will likely suit up in order to log as much time as possible with the first-team offense, assuming his shoulder heals sufficiently.
