Berry entered the preseason opener against the Cardinals on the fourth play of the game and recorded one tackle. “But it’s part of football”. Of course, we have to caution against early overreactions, too.
The Buccaneers announced Demar Dotson injured his left knee. Loadholt missed the final five games with a torn labrum and had worked hard to return to health. That’s what you judge your quarterback on, decision-making. It’s next man up.
The majority of Winston’s completions came in the second quarter with backup in on defense for the Vikings.
“I definitely felt pretty crisp, ” said Bridgewater, who is 12 of 14 for 130 yards in two preseason games. “Everything that he did wrong, we’ll correct it and hopefully he won’t do it the next time”.
Line mostly looked sharp.
The Vikings didn’t lose anything when backup Shaun Hill took over at quarterback.
Before the touchdown drive, Winston had completed 2-of-10 passes for 57 yards.

But he did get it going late in the first half. Linebacker Daren Bates will miss just a few weeks with an MCL sprain when it was feared he had an ACL injury that would have ended his season.
All eyes seem to be on Winston and fans believe he is the key to leading the team to a good season.
“He threw some good balls at the end, ” Smith said.
Dominique Williams led the Vikings with 44 yards on six carries.
