Vikings' Sam Bradford: Will start Thursday

Bradford (ankle) wasn't on the Vikings' final injury report of the week, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. As a result, he'll be under center for Thursday's game against the Cowboys.

Analysis:

Spotted with a slight limp in the locker room earlier this week, Bradford followed up back-to-back limited practices with a full showing Wednesday. While there's always the risk of aggravation once the pads come on, he's hoping to reconnect with Stefon Diggs (knee), who endured a similar practice regimen but is listed as questionable for Week 13.
