The Minnesota Vikings have made quarterback Sam Bradford active for Sunday's divisional-round game against the New Orleans Saints, while Teddy Bridgewater will sit the contest out.

Bradford, who last played in Week 5 due to a knee injury, was activated off injured reserve Saturday. He will back up Case Keenum.

The 30-year-old returned to practice last week and is in the final year of his contract.

Bridgewater was activated off PUP list before Week 10 to serve as Keenum's backup but only saw action on the field in Week 15. He is also set to become a free agent after the season.
