Veteran Shaun Hill replaced Bridgewater in the fourth quarter and did just enough to help the team to a 21-18 overtime victory that helped the Vikings (6-2) move into a tie with Green Bay for first place in the NFC North.

Bridgewater seemed poised not to miss any time. was back at practice on Wednesday, keeping the optimism high that he will be back on the field this Sunday in Oakland.

Bridgewater was a limited participant during the first practice of the week and was unavailable for comment on Wednesday.
