Coach Mike Zimmer, who last Wednesday had yet another surgery on his right eye, “will be taking time away from the team to dedicate to recovering from eye surgery and restoring his health,” General Manager Rick Spielman announced in a statement this morning.
“We all agree Mike’s health is the priority and we believe rest and recovery are in his best interest for the long term,” Spielman.
The Vikings anticipate Zimmer “back on the field in a few weeks.”
Zimmer over the weekend revealed that he had another surgery last week and shrugged when asked if it would be the last.
