The Vikings plan to work out multiple kickers tomorrow, including Kai Forbath and Randy Bullock, a league source told the Star Tribune.

Vikings coach Mike Zimmer confirmed Monday that with kicker Blair Walsh continuing to struggle, the Vikings will take a look at some other kickers. Zimmer first revealed his intentions during his weekly KFAN radio appearance.

Walsh missed an extra point in Sunday's 22-16 overtime loss to the Lions and also had a 46-yard field goal attempt blocked. Asked why he is working out kickers, Zimmer said: "You haven't been watching all year? "

After the game, Walsh snapped at reporters for asking him the same questions every time he misses a kick.

Walsh has missed four of his 16 field goal attempts so far this season. He has also missed three extra point tries, the most in the league.

"We have to look at all avenues as far as what gives us the best opportunity to win football games," Zimmer said.
