Pace (hamstring) practiced in full Thursday. Pace was designated to return from IR on Tuesday and was estimated as a full participant Wednesday. He then practiced in full Thursday, making a return to action Sunday versus Green Bay a legitimate possibility. Prior to getting hurt Week 12 versus Chicago, Pace had tallied 59 tackles, including 3.0 sacks, along with a fumble he returned for a touchdown over nine contests.
Pace (hamstring) was listed as a full practice participant on Wednesday's estimated injury report. 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.
The Vikings designated Pace (hamstring) to return from injured reserve Tuesday, Craig Peters of the team's official site reports. 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 games.
Pace (hamstring) might be on track to return soon, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports. The inside linebacker was placed on injured reserve in late November after hurting his hamstring in the Vikings' Week 12 win over the Bears. Minnesota's Week 17 matchup with Green Bay would be his earliest possible return date. Pace has 59 tackles (31 solo), including 3.0 sacks, in nine games this season.
The Vikings placed Pace (hamstring) on injured reserve Tuesday. 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 inside linebacker alongside Blake Cashman due to Pace's injury.
Pace (hamstring) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Bears, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports. 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.
Pace (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Bears, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports. 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.
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. 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.
Pace (knee) is not among Minnesota's inactives for Sunday's Week 10 contest against Jacksonville. 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.
