NFL Notes: Vikings' Mike Zimmer says he'll coach with 1 eye if necessary

Minnesota Vikings coach Mike Zimmer has had a lot of time on his hands this week while sitting at home on his Kentucky ranch as his team went through optional practices in the Twin Cities. Zimmer was under strict orders to leave the team and rest his right eye, which has needed eight surgeries to try to repair a detached retina. "I'll be back shortly," Zimmer vowed in a conference call with reporters on Friday.
