Asamoah had one total tackle and played on 13 of the defense's 67 snaps in Sunday's win over Houston. Asamoah didn't play on defense the first two games, but got some playing time with Ivan Pace sidelined with a quad injury. He mostly gets his playing time on special teams as a backup interior linebacker.
Asamoah hasn't played since Week 7, but it appears the second-year pro will be ready to return to the field Monday against the Bears. His ability to suit up should bolster the Vikings' special teams unit and depth at linebacker.
