John Sullivan undergoes 2nd back procedure

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — Vikings Head Coach Mike Zimmer said Monday there is a “minimal” chance that John Sullivan will return to action in 2015.

Zimmer announced Monday that Sullivan recently underwent a second procedure on a back injury. Sullivan had a lumbar microdiscectomy before the first game of the season and opened the year on injured reserve — designated to return.

“He had a relapse about 10 days ago in the weight room so he had another procedure on his back,” Zimmer said.
