Nike Running Shoes Clearance .Vikings general manager Rick Spielman said Zimmer was uncertain to recover in time for the matchup Thursday night against the league-leading Cowboys. Spielman said hed met with coaches and players to put a contingency plan in place in case Zimmer is unable to coach.Zimmer, who got his start in the NFL as an assistant with the Cowboys in 1994 and spent 13 years with the organization, has yet to face Dallas in the regular season as a head coach. The Vikings and Cowboys played last year in the preseason.The Vikings said Spielman wouldnt be available for further comment until Thursday morning, but they have two former head coaches on staff in offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur (Cleveland) and offensive line coach Tony Sparano (Miami).The news came about a month after the 60-year-old Zimmer first experienced trouble with his right eye. He complained of vision problems a couple of days before the Oct. 31 contest at Chicago and scratched the eye inadvertently during that game. That prompted team doctors to send him for further examination, which led to a diagnosis of a torn retina.He had a procedure done Nov. 1 and another one Nov. 8, which left his right eye noticeably red. It had cleared up significantly in recent days, though, but obviously all was not right. Left untreated, retina damage can lead to blindness.After first revealing the issue at his Nov. 2 news conference, Zimmer said hed been watching film with his good eye and using reading glasses to write down notes in preparation for that weeks game. With the Vikings mired in a slump with five losses in the last six games, the hard-nosed Zimmer sure hasnt appeared to back off his approach at all in the desire to help the team get back on track and catch up in the NFC playoff chase. Zimmer mentioned recently hes been arriving at his office even earlier than usual, around 4:15 a.m.Zimmer still keeps a home in suburban Dallas, which is where his son and current Vikings linebackers coach Adam Zimmer lived during his middle school and high school years. Mike Zimmer, while making sure this week to avoid sounding overly nostalgic, listed several people still working in the Cowboys organization he remembers well when asked this week to reflect.Anytime youre somewhere 13 years, Zimmer said, it kind of grooms you into who you are a little bit. We had some great teams there.---For more NFL coverage:

Samir Nasri scored for City on his return to the starting line-up Pellegrini told Sky Sports: It was very important because as I said before the game, this weekend all the other teams involved with us play between them.We knew before the game it would be difficult because West Brom always defend very well. Starting 1-0 behind was more difficult.Im very happy [for Nasri] because hes had a long injury and has been very unlucky all season. We know that when he plays with technical players like Yaya [Toure], Kevin [De Bruyne], Kun [Aguero], David [Silva], our team changes. Sergio Aguero equalised in the first half from the penalty spot I put players in that are very technical players and they started playing together and of course the play of the team changed absolutely.
