Mike Zimmer returns to coaching, will travel with Vikings to Jacksonville

By Judd Zulgad

Vikings coach Mike Zimmer has returned to his coaching duties and is expected to travel with the team to Jacksonville for Sunday’s game, according to a statement issued by the team on Monday.

Zimmer, 60, did not coach the Vikings in Thursday’s loss to Dallas at U.S. Bank Stadium after undergoing emergency eye surgery to repair a detached retina on Wednesday. Zimmer reportedly had a fourth procedure performed on the eye on Friday. Zimmer had his first eye surgery on Nov. 1 after he said he scratched his eye on Oct. 31 during a loss in Chicago.

Zimmer is scheduled to speak to the media at 11 a.m. Wednesday at his regular press conference at Winter Park.
