News

  • Estimated as full participant

    Pace (hamstring) was listed as a full practice participant on Wednesday's estimated injury report.

    Analysis: Pace has missed the Vikings' last four games while on injured reserve due to a hamstring injury he suffered against Chicago in Week 12. He was designated to return from IR on Tuesday, and while Wednesday's session was a walkthrough rather than a practice, Pace's full participation indicates that he is progressing well through his recovery. If he's able to fully participate in practice over the next two days, Pace could be activated off IR ahead of Sunday's NFC North clash against the Packers.

  • Designated to return from IR

    The Vikings designated Pace (hamstring) to return from injured reserve Tuesday, Craig Peters of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Pace missed the Vikings' last four games due to a hamstring injury he picked up in Week 12 against the Bears. With his 21-day practice window opened Tuesday, Pace will be able to return to practice this week, and depending on his participation in those sessions, he could be activated off IR ahead of Minnesota's Week 17 clash against Green Bay on Sunday. Prior to his injury, Pace accumulated 59 tackles (31 solo), including 2.0 sacks, and returned a fumble for a touchdown over nine regular-season…read more

  • Might return soon

    Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell said Sunday that Pace (hamstring) might be in line to return from injured reserve soon, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The linebacker was placed on IR in late November after hurting his hamstring in the Vikings' Week 12 win over the Bears. The Vikings' Week 17 matchup with Green Bay would represent his earliest possible return date. Pace has recorded 59 tackles (31 solo) and three sacks in nine games this season.

  • Placed on injured reserve

    The Vikings placed Pace (hamstring) on injured reserve Tuesday.

    Analysis: Pace injured his hamstring during the Vikings' 30-27 overtime win over the Bears, and the injury is severe enough for him to be sidelined for multiple weeks. By being placed on IR, Pace will be forced to miss at least the next four regular-season games, making Week 17 against the Packers on Sunday, Dec. 29 the earliest he can return. Kamu Grugier-Hill -- who played a season-high 45 defensive snaps Sunday and finished with three tackles (two solo) -- will likely be the Vikings' second starting…read more

  • Won't return vs. Chicago

    Pace (hamstring) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Bears, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Pace injured his hamstring in the first quarter Sunday and did not come out with the Vikings for the start of the second half. Brian Asamoah and Kamu Grugier-Hill will see more snaps at linebacker for the rest of Sunday's game due to Pace's injury.

  • Exits game with hamstring injury

    Pace (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Bears, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Pace injured his hamstring in the first half of this Week 12 game. While Pace is sidelined, Brian Asamoah and Kamu Grugier-Hill will see additional snaps at inside linebacker alongside starter Blake Cashman.

  • Does it all in win

    Pace recorded five total tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sacks and an additional tackle for loss, in Sunday's 12-7 win over the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Pace tied Blake Cashman, Stephon Gilmore and Josh Metellus as the Vikings' leading tackler in Sunday's win, despite it being his lowest tackle output of the season. The second-year pro has now appeared in seven games this season, recording 55 total tackles, including 3.0 sacks. Expect Pace to continue starting alongside Cashman as part of the Vikings' top inside-linebacker duo as the season progresses.

  • Clear to suit up Sunday

    Pace (knee) is not among Minnesota's inactives for Sunday's Week 10 contest against Jacksonville.

    Analysis: Pace battled an ankle injury during the week but was able to progress from a DNP on Wednesday to a limited session Thursday and a full session Friday. He was deemed questionable heading into the weekend but will be able to suit up against the Jaguars. Pace has been a strong IDP asset in recent weeks, totaling 29 tackles over his past three games.

  • Questionable for Sunday

    Pace (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Jaguars, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

    Analysis: Pace opened the Vikings' week of practice with a DNP but practiced in full Friday, suggesting he's moving in the right direction ahead of Sunday's contest. If the Cincinnati product can't play through his knee issue in Week 10, Brian Asamoah will likely see increased work with Minnesota's first-team defense.

  • Upgrades to limited Thursday

    Pace (knee) was limited in Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: After logging a DNP on Wednesday, Pace was upgraded Thursday. He was injured in the Vikings' win over the Colts on Sunday night. Through six games this season, Pace has 50 tackles (28 solo), including four TFLs and 2.0 sacks, and one fumble recovery, which Pace returned for a touchdown in Week 7 versus Detroit.

  • Dealing with knee injury

    Pace (knee) was listed as a DNP on Wednesday's injury report.

    Analysis: Pace finished this past Sunday's win over the Colts with six tackles (three solo), but it appears he may have picked up a knee injury in the process. He'll have two more chances to practice this week ahead of Sunday's game against the Jaguars. Across six regular-season games, Pace has logged 50 tackles (28 solo), including 2.0 sacks.

  • Makes six tackles in win

    Pace finished with six tackles (three solo) in Sunday's 21-13 win over the Colts.

    Analysis: The inside linebacker also played on 96.0 percent of the defensive snaps. Pace, an undrafted free agent signing in 2023, recorded 102 tackles (63 solo) as a rookie, and he is keeping up a similar pace in 2024 with 50 stops (28 solo) in the six games he's played in.

  • Has 13 tackles in loss

    Pace had 13 total tackles, including a tackle for a loss, and a QB hit in Thursday's loss to the Rams.

    Analysis: Pace played on all of the defense's 71snaps as the primary interior linebacker with Blake Cashman missing the game due to a toe injury. Cashman could return next week against the Colts.

  • Scores TD on fumble return

    Pace had 10 total tackles, a QB hit and returned a fumble for a 36-yard touchdown in Sunday's loss to Detroit.

    Analysis: Pace played on 57 of the defense 58 snaps as the primary interior linebacker with Blake Cashman missing the game with a toe injury. Pace could continue to have an expanded role in Thursday's Week 8 matchup against the Rams if Cashman remains sidelined.

  • Tallies first sack of season

    Pace recorded six tackles (five solo), including 1.0 sacks, during Sunday's 23-17 win against the Jets.

    Analysis: Despite only playing 26 defensive snaps in Week 5, Pace picked up a sack and tied for the team lead in tackles in London. He will probably see a bit more playing time after the Vikings' bye in Week 6, when he's further removed from the ankle injury that's limited him early in the year.

  • Upgrades to full practice

    Pace (ankle) practiced in full Thursday.

    Analysis: Pace was limited in Wednesday's practice due and has missed back-to-back games due to an ankle injury, but it appears he's now returned to full health. The inside linebacker racked up 15 tackles (10 solo) throughout Minnesota's first two games of the season, so his return will be a notable boost for the starting defense during Sunday's game against the Jets.

  • Limited Wednesday

    Pace (ankle) was limited in Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: Pace has missed the last two games due to an ankle injury, but head coach Kevin O'Connell expressed optimism Monday that the inside linebacker would be back for Week 5 against the Jets, per Alec Lewis of The Athletic. Pace tallied 15 tackles (10 solo) across the first two games of the regular season.

  • Hopeful for Week 5

    Head coach Kevin O'Connell told reporters Monday that the Vikings hope to have Pace (ankle) back for Week 5, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: O'Connell added that Pace was close to suiting up for the Vikings' Week 4 win over the Packers. The Cincinnati product's practice participation during the week will provide a better indication of his possible availability in Week 5. If he's still not past his ankle injury by the time of Sunday's contest, expect Brian Asamoah to play alongside Blake Cashman in Minnesota's inside-linebacker corps.

  • Out again for Week 4

    Pace (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Packers, Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

    Analysis: It will be Pace's second straight missed game. Blake Cashman and Kamu Grugier-Hill handled linebacker duties with Pace out last week against Houston. Look for a similar structure in this week's date with the Packers.

  • DNP to open week

    Pace (ankle) did not participate in the Vikings' walkthrough Wednesday.

    Analysis: Pace was held out of the Vikings' Week 3 win over the Texans due to ankle and quadriceps injuries. He appears to be over the quadriceps issue, but his ankle injury is lingering enough for him to be held out of Wednesday's walkthrough. Pace will have two more chances at seeing the field ahead of Minnesota's Week 4 game against Green Bay.

  • Out for Week 3

    Pace (quadriceps/ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans, Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

    Analysis: In addition to his previous quad issue, Pace suffered an ankle injury in Thursday's practice, sidelining him for Sunday's showdown with Houston. Through two games, Pace has 15 tackles (10 solo) and one QB hit. Brian Asamoah and Kamu Grugier-Hill are next up for linebacker snaps alongside every-down LB Blake Cashman.

  • Dealing with quadriceps issue

    Pace (quadriceps) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: The second-year linebacker out of Cincinnati appears to have sustained a quadriceps injury during his eight-tackle outing Sunday. Pace's practice participation Thursday and Friday will likely provide a clearer indication of whether the 23-year-old will be able to suit up for the Vikings' Week 3 matchup with the Texans.

  • Excels in rookie campaign

    Pace logged 102 tackles (63 solo), 2.5 sacks, two passes defended, an interception and a forced fumble and recovery during his rookie campaign.

    Analysis: Pace made the Vikings' 53-man roster as an undrafted free agent out of Cincinnati and was ultimately able to win a spot as one of the team's two starting inside linebackers, as he earned a larger role as the season progressed. The 23-year-old is under contract for two more seasons and should be back in 2024 working to build on his successful rookie campaign.

  • Leading tackler in loss

    Pace had a game-high 12 tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 33-10 loss to the Packers.

    Analysis: After playing just 30 snaps a week ago, Pace played all 74 defensive snaps in Sunday's loss. He reached double-digit tackles for the second time this season. Pace has 93 tackles over 16 games, fourth on the Vikings in that category.

  • Reduced playing time in loss

    Pace had four total tackles in Sunday's loss to Detroit. He moved to a reserve role and played on 30 of the defense's 79 snaps with the return of Jordan Hicks from a shin injury.

    Analysis: Pace had taken over the starting interior linebacker role with Hicks out the previous four games and excelled. He averaged 10 total tackles per game with two sacks and an interception during that span. However, he was back to a more limited role Sunday. Pace did miss practice time during the week due to a shoulder injury, so that may have also limited his playing time.

  • Active Sunday

    Pace (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Lions.

    Analysis: Pace appeared on the injury report Friday despite practicing on a limited basis. The starting inside linebacker has yet to miss a game this season and he has not even missed a defensive snap over the past four games. The rookie has 77 tackles, two passes defensed, an interception and a forced fumble in 2023.

  • Pops up on Friday injury report

    Pace (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions.

    Analysis: Pace was a late addition to the Vikings' injury report after participating in a limited capacity in Friday's practice. He hasn't missed a game all season and has played every defensive snap over the past four games. If Pace is ruled out for Sunday's game, Brian Asamoah and Nick Vigil are candidates to start at inside linebacker alongside Troy Dye.

  • Another productive day at Cincy

    Pace recorded nine tackles (seven solo) in Saturday's 27-24 overtime loss at Cincinnati.

    Analysis: Pace tallied nine-plus total tackles for his fourth consecutive game in Week 15. It looks like Minnesota made a solid pickup when it signed the undrafted rookie out of Cincinnati during the preseason. He's on the IDP radar for Week 16 versus the Lions.

  • Has sack and INT in win

    Pace had 13 total tackles, including a sack, and an interception in Sunday's win at Las Vegas.

    Analysis: Pace had a career-best day and has suddenly become an IDP star as the team's starting middle linebacker. He played on all of the defense's 54 snaps.

  • Nine tackles in loss

    Pace had nine total tackles, a sack and a tackle for a loss in Monday's loss to Chicago.

    Analysis: Pace played on all 68 defensive snaps, as he's taken over as the top linebacker with Jordan Hicks on injured reserve with a shin injury. It was Pace's first full sack of the season, as he hasn't been used as much on blitz packages. He has 1.5 sacks and is averaging 4.6 total tackles per game (but 9.0 total tackles per game the last two weeks in his new role).

  • Nine tackles in loss

    Pace had nine total tackles in Sunday's loss at Denver.

    Analysis: Pace played on all 55 defensive snaps, as he's taken over as the top linebacker with Jordan Hicks on injured reserve with a shin injury. With the Vikings mostly playing nickel and dime packages, Pace was the only interior linebacker to play more than 22 snaps against the Broncos.

  • Moves into starting lineup

    Pace started at middle linebacker and had eight total tackles with a half sack in Thursday's loss at Philadelphia.

    Analysis: Pace, an undrafted rookie from Cincinnati, moved into a starting role, and his snap count increased (to playing on 80 percent of the defensive snaps up from 68 percent in Week 1) . He had an impact in the pass rush with a half sack and two quarterback hurries.

  • Eight tackles in NFL debut

    Pace had eight total tackles in Sunday's loss to Tampa Bay.

    Analysis: Pace didn't start at linebacker, but the undrafted rookie from Cincinnati was one of the team's top defenders and could push for more playing time. Pace played on 46 of the defense's 68 snaps while Brian Asamoah played just two snaps on defense. It looks like Pace has essentially taken over the top linebacker role opposite Jordan Hicks when the Vikings utilize two linebackers. He was effective in the pass rush (one QB hit) and pass coverage (only allowed 11 yards on two receptions against him,…read more
