Access Vikings morning walkthrough: Teddy would throw a rock around, the life of a roster bubble boy and more

Every weekday, we walk you through what's going on with the Vikings.

WHAT YOU MIGHT HAVE MISSED

— What are Teddy Bridgewater's thoughts on deflated footballs? "If I have to play this game with a rock, I'll throw that around," the QB said.

— Starting center John Sullivan did not practice yesterday, but the Vikings got some good news with the return of nose tackle Shamar Stephen.

— Coach Mike Zimmer has other concerns beyond the offensive line.

— Offensive lineman David Yankey was "definitely disappointed" by being demoted to the practice squad, but he said his mindset won't change.

— This was supposed to be the year that cornerback Marcus Sherels got cut. Of course, we have been hearing that for years and he's still here.

— What's it like to be a bubble boy while roster cuts are being made? Packers running back Alonzo Harris let a reporter experience it with him.

— TJ Jones was on the roster bubble, too. Now he's the Lions' top returner.

— The Bears had to release Paul Lasike, a former rugby player turned running back who hails from New Zealand, because of Visa issues.
