Nineteen things to know about Week 10 injury report

Teddy Bridgewater will be behind center for the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, according to an ESPN report.

Bridgewater was in concussion protocol all week after suffering a head injury last Sunday against the Rams, but he was a full participant in Friday's practice, leading many to believe he'd get the green light.

Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer said on Friday that Bridgewater had yet to clear protocol but "I don't have any doubts," about him being ready for the Raiders game.

Linebacker Anthony Barr (hand) is also listed as questionable for Sunday. Linebacker Eric Kendricks (ribs) was limited in practice Friday and is doubtful.

Here are other injuries we've been tracking on Friday:

  1. The Browns listed Josh McCown (ribs) as questionable to play, but the team did not reveal whether he or Johnny Manziel will get the start. During Friday's news conference, Browns coach Mike Pettine wouldn't say who he plans to start.

Cornerback Joe Haden (concussion), safety Donte Whitner (concussion) and left guard Joel Bitonio (ankle) did not participate in practice on Friday.

  1. Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch (abdominal) was listed as questionable for Sunday against the Cardinals.

Wide receiver Paul Richardson (ACL) was activated from the PUP list to replace wide receiver Ricardo Lockette (neck), who was officially placed on season-ending injured reserve Saturday.

  1. Packers running back Eddie Lacy (groin) was listed as questionable by the team Friday. Receiver Ty Montgomery (ankle) has been downgraded to doubtful while cornerback Sam Shields (shoulder)and linebacker Mike Neal (hip) have been upgraded to probable.

Johnson exited the Lions' Week 8 blowout loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in London after suffering an ankle injury. Earlier this week, Johnson said he expected to play this week.

The Lions also placed cornerback Rashean Mathis on season-ending injured reserve with a concussion he suffered in Week 7. The 35-year-old has one year remaining on the two-year deal he signed in the offseason.

  1. Ben Roethlisberger (foot) was limited in practice and was listed as questionable for Sunday's tilt against the Browns.
