Sam Bradford will not play vs Lions

The Vikings will be without Sam Bradford on Sunday when they take on the Lions in Detroit.

It’s Case Keenum under center in Minnesota. He went 25-of-33 for 369 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions in Vikings Week 3 win over the Buccaneers.

Bradford was able to rest his knee during practice on Wednesday and did not participate in practice Thursday, either.

The fickle nature of Bradford’s knee injury has been difficult for Vikings fans who saw a different quarterback in the team’s emphatic season-opening win over the Saints. Bradford was hurling darts en route to a three-touchdown performance with a completion percentage near 85.
