The Vikings coach missed the team’s last game, a 17-15 loss to the Cowboys on Dec. 1, as he recovered from surgery to repair a detached retina in his right eye. Zimmer underwent another surgery — his fourth — about a week ago. He has had to follow a strict recovery routine that has included lying face down and limiting his eye movement.

StarTribune.com reported Saturday that Zimmer will prowl the sideline Sunday as the reeling Vikings face the Jaguars in Jacksonville. After starting the season 5-0, Minnesota has lost five of six and is now 6-6.
Zimmer will wear a pair of custom sunglasses that feature a blacked-out lens to protect his right eye, which is still experiencing some double vision.
