Mike Zimmer has returned to coaching, expected to travel to Jacksonville, Vikings announce

Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer has resumed coaching and is expected to travel to Jacksonville, Fla. for Sunday's game, the team announced Monday.

Zimmer, the 60-year-old coach who missed his first NFL game Thursday due to emergency eye surgery, will address reporters Wednesday during his regularly scheduled press conference.

He's expected to join the team flight on the trip to Jacksonville, Fla.

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 after saying he scratched his eye in the Oct. 31 loss in Chicago.

The Vikings (6-6) kick off against the Jaguars (2-10) on Sunday at noon local time.
