MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — Minnesota Vikings coach Mike Zimmer, currently taking some time off in Kentucky after his latest eye surgery, will return to Minnesota in just over a week.
Zimmer said he is scheduled to come home June 4, with a doctor’s appointment the next day to clear him to return to coaching.
The coach, entering his fourth year with the Vikings, had his first eye surgery in November, missing a game against the Dallas Cowboys before returning to the sidelines. Zimmer has had several more eye surgeries since.
The team announced Monday Zimmer would miss OTAs while recovering from his eighth eye surgery.
