Vedvik's 2 missed FGs leave Zimmer 'at a loss'

MINNEAPOLIS -- Vikings coach Mike Zimmer has a "high" level of concern regarding kicker Kaare Vedvik's two missed field goals during Minnesota's 20-9 win over the Arizona Cardinals.

Vedvik, the kicker/punter Minnesota acquired two weeks ago from the Baltimore Ravens in exchange for a fifth-round pick, handled all placekicking duties in the Vikings' third preseason game. He went 0-for-2 on field goals, including a 43-yard attempt that sailed wide left and a 54-yarder that went wide right. Vedvik made both of his extra-point attempts in the win.

While Vedvik handled all kicking duties, Matt Wile -- who had a singular punt in the waning minutes of last week's win over Seattle -- punted six times against the Cardinals with a 47.
