Bradbury (back) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against Kansas City. Minnesota's starting center will likely return this Sunday after missing the team's last three games with a back issue. Bradbury has started all 58 games he's appeared in for the Vikings since he was drafted in 2018.

Bradbury (back) practiced in full Thursday after participating on a limited basis Wednesday, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports. The starting center last played in the Vikings' season opener against the Buccaneers. Bradbury left that contest with the injury. The fifth-year pro has started in every one of his 58 career games.

Bradbury (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at the Panthers. Bradbury seems to be relatively close to returning from a back injury that kept him out in Week 2 and Week 3, but Minnesota won't say for sure until inactives are listed prior to kickoff Sunday. If he sits again, Austin Schlottmann should continue to fill in at center.

Bradbury (back) will not play Thursday against the Eagles, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports. Bradbury exited the team's Week 1 loss to Tampa Bay early with the injury and was unable to return. It was reported Monday that he'd be day-to-day, but with the short week, the NC State product will remain sidelined. Austin Schlottmann should get the start at center Thursday against Philadelphia.

Coach Kevin O'Connell said Monday that Bradbury (back) was day-to-day ahead of Thursday's game at Philadelphia, Dane Mizutani of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports. If nothing else, O'Connell's comments at least suggest the back injury that forced Bradbury out of Sunday's loss versus Tampa Bay prematurely is not a season-ending one. Whether Bradbury will be ready for game action on a short turnaround in Week 2 remains up in the air, however. Austin Schlottmann would likely be in line to start at center Thursday if Bradbury can't go.
