Zimmer will coach Sunday

On Friday, we learned about the sad and sudden passing of Vikki Zimmer, the wife of Bengals defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer.

The reaction from the Bengals and from Dallas, where Zimmer coached for 13 years, were testimonies to the impact she had on Zimmer’s family and his extended family -- his players.

Today the Bengals confirmed that Mike Zimmer will coach the Bengals defense against Baltimore on Sunday.

Keeping his family close during this difficult time, Zimmer brought his father, Bill, son Adam, and daughter Corri along with him to Baltimore. His mother and another son remained in Cincinnati, according to ESPN’s James Walker.

No details of the death have been revealed, but Vikki Zimmer passed away at her home.

Once again our heart goes out to the entire Zimmer family.
