MINNEAPOLIS — Mike Zimmer’s phone has been buzzing of late.
The Vikings Head Coach helped celebrate the grand opening of U.S. Bank Stadium on Friday but admitted his players are chomping at the bit to get back to work.
“(We’re) very (excited),” Zimmer said. “You know, we’ve been off for about five weeks since OTAs got over, and it’s way too long.
“I’ve actually had a couple of players text me and say, ‘Coach, this vacation’s too long.’ We’re excited to get back together,” he added. “We have so much work to do.”
Minnesota opens its 51st Training Camp at Minnesota State University, Mankato next Thursday.
