INDIANAPOLIS -- Minnesota Vikings coach Mike Zimmer is scheduled for two more surgeries on his right eye as he struggles to regain vision from a detached retina suffered last November.
Zimmer, speaking Thursday at the NFL scouting combine, said he hopes the procedures restore 50 percent of his current limited vision. He also said he has been told he has a "high likelihood" for a similar affliction occurring in his left eye, which to this point has been unaffected.
Zimmer, who missed the Vikings' loss to the Dallas Cowboys in Week 13, had a total of four procedures during the season.
