Vikings players have been informed that Hill is expected to start this week, NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reports

EDGE Analysis

Although head coach Mike Zimmer has stated multiple times an announcement won't come until Sunday, this supports the original notion that Sam Bradford will need more than four practices with his new team in order to be ready for a regular-season game. While both quarterbacks are believed to have gotten first-team reps during the week, Hill took most of the snaps at the portions of practice open to the media Monday and Wednesday. Hill has a favorable matchup against Tennessee, assuming he does indeed get the start, but his job will largely revolve around handing the ball to Adrian Peterson.
