The Vikings worked out some kickers Tuesday but don’t plan to cut Blair Walsh or make a change right now, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported.

Whether the workout group wasn’t impressive or the Vikings just want to give Walsh another chance wasn’t immediately clear as the workout took place on what’s traditionally a “closed” day across the league. Vikings Coach Mike Zimmer had acknowledged that the Vikings would be looking at outside options and that Walsh had basically forced them to do so.

Walsh has missed four field goals and three extra points this season. He missed an extra point and had a field goal blocked in last week’s overtime loss to the Lions.

“The way our games are being played, they probably come down to a lot of close games -- I’m hoping, at least, anyway,” Zimmer said. “We have to look at all avenues as far as what gives us the best opportunity to win football games.”
