The Star Tribune’s Mark Craig recently wrote that the hope is for NFL training camps to be open in late July.
Does that worry Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer? It sure doesn’t seem like it.
“I’m not really concerned about if they give us five weeks or three weeks or whatever it is [to get ready],” Zimmer told the Star Tribune. “We’ll figure out how to best utilize those particular weeks.”
As Craig pointed out, Zimmer has already been a coach during a shortened season. He was the defensive coordinator of the Bengals in 2011, the year there was a lockout.
“There was plenty of time to get ready for the season,” Zimmer told the Star Tribune.
Recently, the Vikings reportedly submitted a plan to the NFL, in order to open TCO Performance Center. However, the team will continue to work remotely for the time being. The team currently has no timetable for when front office personnel will return to TCO Performance Center.
