inactive list for the divisional round playoff game against New Orleans.
Bradford played in only 1+ games this season because of a knee injury he eventually had surgery on.
He was placed on injured reserve on Nov. 8 so the Vikings could activate Bridgewater, who took only 10 snaps at the end of the game on Dec. 17 and has
not seen significant action in a meaningful game in two years.
Bradford started the opener against the Saints, posting a career-best 143.0 passer rating in leading the Vikings to a 29-19 victory.

Cardinals right-handed pitcher Michael Wacha returned to St. Louis on Thursday for an MRI.
The Cardinals placed Wacha on the 10-day disabled list with a left oblique strain before Thursday night’s game against the Milwaukee Brewers. They recalled
right-hander John Gant from Triple-A Memphis.
”Everyone has injuries,” Cardinals general manager Michael Girsch said. ”We’ve just got to deal with it.”
Wacha accompanied the team as it flew to Milwaukee from Philadelphia, but then he continued on to St. Louis for the medical scan.
”We have not gotten an MRI yet,” Girsch said. ”Hope to have it tonight.”
Wacha, who leads the team in wins (8-2) and strikeouts (71) in 15 starts with a 3.20 ERA, left Wednesday’s start against the Philadelphia Phillies with the
injury. He surrendered a two-run homer to Cesar Hernandez in the fourth inning
and pitched to one more batter before he was replaced by Mike Mayers. The
Cardinals lost 4-3.
It’s the third time this season that Gant has been recalled. He is 1-2 with a 4.74 ERA in seven
appearances

Gant could be a candidate for a start on Monday.
”Gant will be available in the bullpen the next few days,” Girsch said. ”We still feel we have good options in the rotation. They’re all capable of going
the rest of the way. Obviously, we’d like to get guys back and have more
depth.”
