Zimmer started the availability by saying Vikings star defensive end Danielle Hunter had successful neck surgery on Tuesday. Hunter initially thought he had just slept wrong, but when he got an MRI, it was indicated that the injury was worse than a tweak.

Zimmer also spoke about the motivation of his players with all the injuries and the 1-5 record, gave his thoughts on Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LeFleur, how tough it is for linebackers to cover pass catchers in space, and how he has addressed Kirk Cousins and his interception uptick as of late.

The Vikings play at Green Bay Sunday, with a 12 p.m. kickoff.
