Minnesota Vikings Hold On To Kicker Dan Bailey, For Now

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Minnesota Vikings have kept kicker Dan Bailey for now, despite a troubling run of misses by one of the most accurate specialists in NFL history.

Coach Mike Zimmer declined Wednesday to commit to using Bailey for the upcoming game against Chicago. “We’ll see,” was all Zimmer said during a terse video conference call with reporters.

When asked if he anticipated adding another kicker to the roster this week, Zimmer again replied, “We’ll see,” perhaps more indicative of disinterest in discussing a subject that has roiled him throughout his tenure than of an impending transaction.
