EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- Sam Bradford has begun his crash course in Minnesotas offense.Whether hell be able to learn enough in his first week for the Vikings to make him the quarterback in the season opener, well, thats undetermined. Coach Mike Zimmer, naturally, wasnt ready to declare a starter for Sunday. He didnt rule out Bradford, either, with the game at Tennessee six days away.Well see how it goes, Zimmer said.Bradford tk part in second practice with the team Monday, two days after the trade with Philadelphia that was triggered by the massive injury to Teddy Bridgewaters left knee.Obviously its a little bit of an adjustment trying to not only learn a new system but adjust to the personnel and try to figure out how to throw to different guys, Bradford said. But it felt better today than it did yesterday, thats for sure.The most reasonable timetable for the 2010 first overall draft pick to take over is probably the following week for the home game against Green Bay, with Shaun Hill playing this week. Immediate action for Bradford is certainly possible, though. With only two quarterbacks on the active roster, if Hill were to start and get hurt, Bradford would have to play regardless of his readiness.Thats the goal, to progress to that point to where I feel comfortable enough to get out there and play if Im needed to, Bradford said. But I cant tell you if thats going to be the case or not.Both Hill and Bradford will take turns with the first team this week. The 15-year veteran Hill, coincidentally, tk over as the starter for St. Louis to begin the 2014 season after Bradford tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee during training camp for a second time in a year.The Vikings expressed confidence in Hill after Bridgewater went down in practice with a dislocated knee, torn ACL and other significant damage. They werent confident enough to stand pat over the weekend without pursuing a higher-caliber replacement.He was disappointed at first, but Shaun is a great person, Zimmer said, adding: He is a pros pro. Thats the way he tk it.The Vikings dealt two draft picks, including a first-rounder in 2017, for Bradford. Hill started with the first team on Monday during the portion of practice reporters were allowed to watch.I only know what weve put in the past two days or what theyve taught me the past two days, Bradford said afterward. As far as what percentage that is of the playbk, I dont know. Im sure its a very small percentage. But I can tell you, with what weve done in the past few days, I feel pretty gd with those.The presence of tight ends coach Pat Shurmur, and his influence on the scheme under offensive crdinator Norv Turner, will be a big help. Shurmur was Bradfords offensive crdinator last season with Philadelphia and in his rkie year with St. Louis in 2010.Im not sure if its quite sandlot ftball, but I think its really just trying to figure out what Im comfortable with right now, Bradford saidGame notes Bradford had been to Minnesota once in his life before the trade. That was a family reunion like probably when I was like 6 or 7, he said. . ... Four players on the active roster werent taking part in practice: WR Charles Johnson, TE MyCole Pruitt, OT Jeremiah Sirles and center Nick Easton. Pruitt has a left knee injury and likely wont play at Tennessee. The Vikings havent revealed the other injuries. ... The Vikings signed safety Shamiel Gary to fill out the practice squad. He was let go last week by Miami, where he played in six games in 2015. ... Previously placed on the practice squad were OG Willie Beavers, WR Moritz Bohringer, TE Kyle Carter, OG Isame Faciane, RB C.J. Ham, DT Toby Johnson, CB Tre Roberson, QB Joel Stave and DE Stephen Weatherly, all of whom were in camp with the team and cut on Saturday.---Online:AP NFL website: http://www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL coverage on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Dave Campbell on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/DaveCampbellAP Devlin Hodges Jersey .
