MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer says a vaccinated player went to the emergency room recently due to COVID complications.
During a press conference Wednesday, Zimmer said the player, who hasn’t been identified, went to the ER Tuesday evening.
“It’s serious stuff,” Zimmer said. “He’s stable now, but it was scary.”
Zimmer says 29 people in the organization, including himself, are now being tested after being deemed close contacts.
Last week, several players were placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list, including safety Harrison Smith and center Garrett Bradbury.
