EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- The Minnesota Vikings have begun the week in ambiguous mode, stung by injuries and disappointed by a second straight defeat yet buoyed by the earlier-than-anticipated arrival of their rookie quarterback. The offence around Teddy Bridgewater has been depleted of several starters, but maybe the kid will be all right. Like any debuting first-round draft pick, Bridgewater brings not a boost of optimism for the team as well as an undetermined ceiling for his performance. "A lot of poise for a rookie. I mean, an incredible amount, and he can throw the ball around the field," centre John Sullivan said. "So were excited." Sullivan went even further in response to a question about the teams confidence in Bridgewater. "We should win every single game we play with him at quarterback," he said. Well, that wouldve been a tall task, obviously, even at full strength. Bridgewaters first NFL start this Sunday against Atlanta, with Matt Cassel sidelined for a while because of broken bones in his left foot, will have the benefit of being at home. He will likely, however, be without the No. 1 running back, No. 1 tight end, No. 3 wide receiver and starting right guard the Vikings expected to have at this point in the season. "You never plan on having this many injuries as you have, but were not going to make excuses about it," coach Mike Zimmer said Monday. Running back Adrian Peterson remains out indefinitely, of course, with the charge of child abuse pending against him in Texas. This was going to be the week that wide receiver Jerome Simpson returned from a three-game suspension, but the Vikings released him Thursday after news broke of more off-the-field trouble. Then Sunday in New Orleans, the Vikings lost more than just by the 20-9 margin. Five key players had to leave the game because they were hurt: -- Tight end Kyle Rudolph aggravated an abdominal injury that had been bothering him since early in the preseason. Rudolph was scheduled to fly to Philadelphia on Tuesday morning to have surgery by Dr. William Meyers, a noted specialist in dealing with sports hernias. Rudolph is expected to miss about six weeks but wanted to have surgery as soon as possible to try and return in time for the second half of the season. Rudolph signed a five-year contract extension in July and was poised for a breakout season under new offensive co-ordinator Norv Turner. "Ive always tried to demonstrate that these times can define you as a person. This latest setback will be no different," Rudolph tweeted. "I will prove that my determination and dedication to this team, city, and most importantly, our fans, will carry me back to where I belong." -- Cassel will see a specialist Thursday before a timetable for his recovery is determined. Zimmer said signing another quarterback, and tight end, was under consideration. -- Right guard Brandon Fusco hurt his pectoral muscle, in the chest area, and was slated for a second medical opinion. -- Nickel cornerback Josh Robinson hurt his right hamstring, the muscle that limited him for much of training camp. -- Linebacker Chad Greenway, who also played against the Saints with a broken left hand, aggravated a rib injury he was already dealing with last week. Asked whether Greenway could play through that against the Falcons, Zimmer said, "Not like he did this week." Elaborating, Zimmer second-guessed himself for allowing Greenway to play after being in too much pain to practice during the week. "He had a hard game yesterday. Its my fault," Zimmer said. The defence played well for much of the afternoon but had a rough start and a costly stretch late in the game with the Saints clinging to a 13-9 lead. Captain Munnerlyns wrestling-style takedown of Drew Brees for third-down sack drew an unnecessary roughness penalty, and the Saints converted two more third-and-long situations on their way to the insurance touchdown. "It was a bad call. The referee, he never blew the whistle," Munnerlyn said, vowing to appeal a fine. He added: "I feel like it changed the game for my team. So Ive just got to learn from it and try not to make that mistake again." On offence, the Peterson-less ground game has been punchless. Protection by the offensive line, particularly left tackle Matt Kalil, has become an increasing concern. "He allows one play to affect the second play sometimes," Zimmer said, adding: "Its like a golfer when he misses a putt and then he goes up on the tee box and has a bad drive. Were all going to have bad plays. He has enough athletic ability and physical skills and mental toughness. He has all those things. Now, he cant compound it by making another mistake."

Tellitlikeitis was installed as the 3-1 early favourite for the worlds richest pacing event at Tuesdays draw. The son of 09 Cup winner Well Said will start from the third post in the 10-horse field at Mohawk Racetrack. Tellitlikeitis, bred and owned by Lothlorien of Cheltenham, Ont., won his elimination race in a career best 1:48.4, passing heavily-favoured Hes Watching for the 1 1/4-length win in just his second start of the year. Tellitlikeitis also won his season opener, a Pennsylvania Sires Stake, at Pocono Downs last month. Lothlorien has shared ownership of three previous Cup winners -- Well Said (2009), Rocknroll Hanover (2005) and Red River Hanover (2002). Trainer Jim Takter has only started two previous Cup entrants, both in 2012, and finished second with Time To Roll. Brett Miller has two previous Cup drives, finishing second in 2010 with We Will See. "He has wicked speed and hell take you to where you want to go in the mile," said Miller. "I definitely wanted to sit in with him this week (in the elim) and it worked out very well that the two horses I wanted to follow were in front of me." The three Cup elimination races were held Saturday to determine the field for the final. Takter will have to Cup entrants, the other being Lyonssomewhere, the 4-1 third choice who also was an elimination race winner. Lyonssomewhere, owned by Geoffrey LLyons Mound of Burford, Ont.dddddddddddd, will start from the No. 4 position and is undefeated in five starts. The son of 08 Cup winner and horse of the year Somebeachsomewhere took his elim comfortably in 1:50.1 by one and three-quarter lengths in his first stakes appearance. Hell be driven by Corey Callahan, making only his second Cup drive after finishing fourth with Mr Wiggles in 2009. "I like just about everything about him," said Takter. "Hes handy and hes the real deal. "Its a long year and I wanted to have him fresh for this event and not too many starts." Other elim winner, Mcwicked, selected the No. 2 post. Mcwicked, the American-owned son of 02 third-place Cup finisher Mcardle, posted the fastest elimination race victory, winning by two lengths in 1:48.3. Mcwicked is trained by Casie Campbell and is a five-time winner in 14 outings with career earnings of $248,457. "He was absolutely awesome (in his elim)," Coleman said. "It was the fourth time Ive raced him and every time he keeps getting better and better. "It looks like theres a lot of speed in the race. My horse can race either way. Id prefer him coming off a helmet but hes very versatile."
