EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- How was your Tuesday? However it went, it was probably more enjoyable than Mike Zimmer's.

While players took their day off on Tuesday, the Minnesota Vikings coach had another procedure to remove the rest of the kidney stones that first sent him to the hospital on Friday and gave him some pain during the Vikings' game with the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. The operation on Tuesday was "not pleasant at all," Zimmer said on Wednesday, but he said the ordeal should be behind him now, and was in a good enough mood to joke about it on Wednesday.

"(Athletic trainer) Eric Sugarman was talking to the team today, and I told him to get the video of the procedure I had done and show the team," Zimmer said. "I think there would have been some throwing up or something."

When a reporter joked that Zimmer was probable for Sunday's game, the coach responded, "I'm definite."
