EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — Vikings Head Coach Mike Zimmer returned to work at Winter Park on Monday after a trying week.
Zimmer wore a bandage over his right eye during Tuesday’s practice. He had emergency eye surgery for a detached retina Wednesday night and did not coach in Thursday’s 17-15 home loss against Dallas.
He had a follow-up procedure Friday morning and received a good report from his doctor on Saturday.
Minnesota’s third-year head coach noted the plan as of Tuesday afternoon is for him to travel to Jacksonville this weekend to coach the Vikings, although that could change if more issues arise in his eye.
