EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — Vikings Head Coach Mike Zimmer said veteran tackle Jake Long could see the field Sunday against the Eagles.
Speaking with reporters on Friday, Zimmer said Long has gotten up to speed quickly enough that he could potentially start if needed.
Long, who signed as a free agent last week, deferred the amount of potential playing time to the coaches but said after Friday’s practice that he’ll be ready if called upon.
“I feel good,” Long said. “Whenever that opportunity comes, whatever the coaches want, I’ll be ready to roll for it.
