Vikings Head Coach Mike Zimmer is taking some time away from the team to recover from eye surgery and restore his health, but he said the medical outlook is positive.

Zimmer recently underwent an eighth surgery on his right eye. He spoke with “Voice of the Vikings” Paul Allen on KFAN’s 9 to Noon show after a follow-up appointment Monday and shared that he received good news from the doctors.
