What We're Watching: 4 Intriguing Aspects of OTAs

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — The Vikings first week of organized team activity practices has arrived.

The offense and defense will be able to compete against each other for the first time in 2017, but tackling will not be allowed.

The team announced on Monday that Head Coach Mike Zimmer will be taking some time away from Winter Park so that he can rest and recover from an eye surgery he had last Wednesday. It was the eighth procedure that Zimmer has had since discovering that he had a torn retina last fall.
