Vikings' Zimmer is back coaching and expected to make Jacksonville trip

Mike Zimmer has resumed coaching and is expected to travel to Jacksonville, Fla., for Sunday's Vikings game.

The 60-year-old who missed his first NFL game Thursday because of emergency surgery for a detached retina will address reporters Wednesday during his regularly scheduled news conference, the team announced.

He is expected to join the team flight to Jacksonville on Saturday.

Zimmer is back to work three days after he reportedly underwent a fourth operation Friday after a follow-up appointment. The coach first had surgery on Nov. 1, saying doctors diagnosed a torn retina after he scratched his eye in an Oct. 31 loss in Chicago.

Zimmer addressed the team briefly Thursday before its 17-15 loss to Dallas at U.S. Bank Stadium. Special teams coach Mike Priefer was the acting head coach for the game.
