Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer had another procedure on his right eye less than a year after suffering a detached retina that forced him to miss a game last season.
Zimmer told ESPN that he underwent his eighth procedure on his eye last week, nearly seven months after having his first surgery following the Vikings’ loss to the Bears last Oct. 31. The emergency procedure forced Zimmer to miss Minnesota’s game against the Cowboys on Dec. 1, but he was back on the sidelines wearing a patch over his right eye for the Vikings’ subsequent game against the Jaguars.
