Notebook: Zimmer Plans to Coach Sunday in Jacksonville

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — Vikings Head Coach Mike Zimmer said Friday that he will travel to Jacksonville for this Sunday’s game against the Jaguars.

Zimmer, who missed last Thursday’s game against the Cowboys after undergoing emergency eye surgery for a detached retina, was asked by the Twin Cities media if he would make the trip.

Minnesota’s third-year head coach nodded before providing a laugh with his response: “We’re not talking about injuries.”

Zimmer, who is 24-19 with the Vikings, had a follow up procedure last Friday on his right eye. He said he was unsure if he would coach from the sideline or in the coaches’ box on Sunday.
