Minnesota Vikings coach Mike Zimmer needed an eighth surgery on his eye Wednesday, per Chris Tomasson of the Pioneer Press.

The coach originally scratched his eye on Oct. 31 in a game against the Chicago Bears.

He also had two surgeries in April, although he couldn't say with confidence the most recent one would be his final surgery.

"I thought [it was done] before," he said Saturday. "We'll see."

Zimmer was forced to miss a game in December when he needed emergency surgery for a detached retina.
