Report: Bradford told people he expects to play vs. Steelers

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Bradford will reportedly be a game-time decision for Sunday's matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers, but he has told people that he expects to play, according to Aditi Kinkhabwala of NFL Network.

Bradford was a limited participant in practice all week due to a knee injury he picked up in the team's season opener against the New Orleans Saints and his status is expected to be decided after a pregame workout.

It's unclear when Bradford first picked up the ailment in a game in which he went 27-for-32 for 346 yards and three touchdowns.

Veteran Case Keenum is Bradford's backup and the Vikings signed Kyle Sloter to the roster on Saturday as further insurance at the position.
