MINNEAPOLIS -- Minnesota Vikings linebacker Chad Greenway has been open about his desire to play one more season for the team and finish his career in Minnesota. Vikings coach Mike Zimmer sounded on Thursday like he's hoping for the same thing.
Zimmer said at the NFL combine he wants Greenway back for an 11th season in Minnesota, adding the 33-year-old linebacker can still play, whether he's in a starting or part-time role.
Greenway shifted from being an every-down linebacker in 2015 to playing about half of the Vikings' snaps in their base defense, and said the role helped preserve his health after an injury-riddled 2014 season.
